We...
The company specializes in the design and construction of automation systems for engine transmission and the control of aerodynamic appendages. Automac Engineering has also been involved in the development of engines for marine competitions in the F1 Inshore World Championship.
In addition to control systems designed to be mounted directly on vehicles, Automac Engineering has developed, over the years, several test benches for mechanical and hydraulic components. The most prestigious and profitable projects have involved shock absorber test benches, which have been used for several years by major motorcycle teams, and KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) test benches, utilized by leading Formula One teams. The most notable collaboration in this regard has been with the Ferrari team.
These collaborations have been particularly fruitful, as they have enabled the company to design and build its own automation system for transmission components, incorporating mechanical parts and electronic control units. This system is now internationally recognized and is installed in various types of supercars. It is highly regarded in the market, and its growth trajectory has yet to reach its peak. Nevertheless, the company has decided to further invest in machinery and control lines to remain at the forefront of the market with particularly innovative products, anticipating future customer demands as much as possible.
The company also specializes in the design, construction, and supply of hydraulic and electric gearbox handling systems, aerodynamic devices, and specific actuators for niche vehicles, including small production runs of special cars and prototypes.
Eng. Maurizio Bigi
Maurizio Bigi graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bologna. He began his career as a project manager in research and development at Bugatti Automobili S.p.A., becoming the first engineer hired by the company. Subsequently, he worked with various racing teams, including Osella F1 and the official Alfa Romeo Racing Team, participating in several national and international championships. For Osella, Bigi designed the Osella Pa/16, a covered-wheel sports prototype that won several titles. Later on, Engineer Bigi expanded his automotive design consulting services by providing prototypes made in-house, first establishing Automac S.a.s. di Bigi Maurizio and later Automac Engineering S.r.l., through which he was able to produce not only prototypes but also small series of finished products ready for installation on both sports and road vehicles from renowned Italian and foreign manufacturers.
For over twenty years, the company has been designing and supplying electronic, mechanical, and mechatronic systems, all entirely built, developed, and tested in-house.
