Since the founding of Franz Morat GmbH in 1912, gear and drive engineering has been in a continuous state of development at the company’s headquarters in Eisenbach. Framo Morat, with subsidiaries in the United States, Turkey and Poland as well as a worldwide network of sales partners, is a globally operating manufacturer of high-quality drive solutions for many industries.

Gear engineering is the core competency of Framo Morat. All of our manufacturing technologies that are crucial to quality are carried out in-house. Framo Morat is among the leading providers in Europe, particularly in the area of worm gear sets.

Framo Morat is a consulting company that combines automated production with the services of an engineering firm. With years of experience, Framo Morat is the ideal partner for every phase of a project, from developing specifications for your idea through development and design to prototype construction, testing, assembly, and regular production. Numerous highly respected companies from a wide variety of industries trust our development services and the resulting drive solutions.

With a tremendous depth in production capabilities, Framo Morat has a unique ability to bring together knowledge and the entire spectrum of gear production methods under one roof. In 2015, a new plant was founded in Nowa Ruda, Poland to help expand our assembly capacities. Different transmission variants are installed here in the 2,500 m² facility—economically, flexibly and efficiently.

Framo Morat is divided into three interrelated business units:

Gear Technology business unit

Gear technology is our specialty: Working according to customer specifications, we manufacture gears with internal and external teeth, rotor shafts, pinions, and sprockets in addition to numerous specialty solutions. Depending on the specific requirements, we utilize a wide variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, various non-ferrous metals, and synthetics. As a result, we can ensure that our customers always receive a high-quality product that is ideal for their application. We perform all major soft and hard processing steps, including annealing in our own ovens. Thanks to these extensive capabilities, we are able to execute even highly complex tasks precisely according to customer expectations and in the highest quality.

Worm Gear Sets business unit

Our worm gear sets cover a wide range of applications. We demonstrate our experience and skills by producing more than 1 million gear sets every year, most of which are according to custom specifications. Our standard gear sets have diameters ranging from 20 to 135 mm and center distances of 17 to 80 mm. In addition, we offer custom gear sets with diameters of up to 300 mm and center distances of up to 150 mm. Framo Morat designs and manufactures worm gear sets from steel, bronze, fabric laminate, or synthetic material, depending on requirements.

Drive Systems business unit

The Drive Systems business unit comprises slip-on geared motors, linear actuators, planetary gears, and push/pull actuators. The modular approach allows these products to be individually adapted to the customer’s requirements. We also offer custom engineered drive solutions that are designed and developed specifically according to the customer’s requirements. For these purposes, Framo Morat has its own prototyping capabilities for producing small runs of custom engineered drives, testing with customers, and optimizing series production. We are also ready to provide very complex drive solutions, including the motor controller, bus coupling, certification, production, and delivery logistics for a complete service from a single source.

In recent years, Framo Morat has grown increasingly close to its neighboring sister company F. Morat, a pioneer in the field of plastic injection molding technology. As a result, the umbrella company Franz Morat Group can create drive solutions that bring together the benefits of both materials, metals and plastics, for capabilities that are truly unique in the industry.

We think globally but have local roots. We are a modern, international technology company yet we remain tied to our original location in Germany’s Black Forest and are led by the sixth generation of family management. We draw energy from our heritage: we believe that a solid footing is needed to truly achieve success. And we strive for success each and every day.

We are always seeking motivated and qualified employees who can help us keep up with continually changing market requirements. But we also place a high value on advanced training for our employees. More than 70% of our employees are qualified as skilled workers, while 10% are participating in training at any given time.
