Totally Focused. Totally Independent. The world’s largest independent producer of alternators 1 - 5,000kVA

TOTALLY FOCUSED. TOTALLY INDEPENDENT. We only make one kind of product. That’s why we’ve been totally focused on producing high quality alternators since we were established in 1947. Today, we have factories or distribution centres in every continent and we’re the world’s largest independent producer of alternators. Our independence is very important to us… and to our customers because we never compete with any of them in the end market. (We don’t sell complete generator sets.) We believe that we’re a totally unique company because of the special combination of qualities that set us apart...

Totally Focused. Totally Independent. | 5 WORLD-CLASS ALTERNATORS In 1947, my father, Mario Carraro, launched a repair workshop for electric motors in Italy. Today, we are a global group with over 1,000 employees, producing over 1,400 alternators a day across the globe. We have proven expertise and experience in research, design, low-cost manufacturing and development capabilities. With manufacturing taking place in Italy, the UK, India and China, coupled with high market capabilities and a powerful worldwide capacity, we offer a fast and reliable service to our customers... all over the...

OUR INDEPENDENCE Our total independence allows us to listen and continually react to the power needs and requirements of the market and, most importantly, our customers. Keeping our customers at the forefront of every decision that we make has spurred on our continual development and ever-evolving product ranges, as well as assisting in the development of positive reputability in the wider market, as the go-to alternator provider.

Totally Focused. Totally Independent. | 7 We are now a global group with activities in every continent, but we started life as a family business. Mario Carraro launched a repair workshop for electric motors in Italy in 1947 and eventually progressed to the production of small electric motors. In the next decade, the company moved onto producing alternators and, in the early 1970s, things really began to take off. All brilliant ideas are very simple; in this case, Mecc Alte decided to concentrate its activities on a single type of product. This led to a progressive expansion of our...

STRATEGIC EXPANSION As a company, we have won an estimated worldwide market share of over 20%. Working in a market dominated by international giants, we have proven capabilities competing with all major European, American and Asian multinationals. Concentrating on a single product sector, we have achieved year-on-year growth and market success. This strategic decision has allowed us to attain the highest possible levels of specialisation, enabling us to offer the world’s widest range of alternators: from 1 to 5,000kVA. We pride ourselves on our expansion and the fact that every single one...

Totally Focused. Totally Independent. | 9 WORLDWIDE GROWTHNEW INVESTMENTS We support our rapid growth with continued reinvestment; last year's investments in India and China will see international expansion in Asia and the Near and Far East. Further global investment increasing the range manufactured in the UK, has further underlined our global capacity and ability to support all business. The recent addition of the Mecc Alte Power Products division has seen us move into high and medium voltages. This increased global capacity ensures that we are able to support the growth of our customers,...

OUR TECHNOLOGY Predicting the needs of the market has always been standard practice for us. That’s why the group has its own in-house research division and why we have collaborated closely with the Engineering Faculty of Padova University for over 30 years. Constant research and experimentation allows us to construct machines that are considered smaller, lighter and more efficient than those produced by our competitors. Operating at the cutting edge of design, Mecc Alte develops its mechanical components using solid design and utilises dedicated design software for electronic parts. Every...

OUR PEOPLE We continue to believe that our employees are our most important asset: professional, skilled, experienced and committed, they remain the critical reason for our success. Our products are so successful due to their high quality and reliability – this is because our people provide real added value. We employ over 1,000 people throughout the world and we invest heavily into our ongoing training program to ensure that they are able to make a significant, ongoing contribution to our expansion. WE NOW EMPLOY OVER 1,000 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND ARE EXTREMELY DEDICATED TO CONTINUALLY...

OUR QUALITY We have reached the highest possible quality standards in every area of design, production and sales. With us, the pursuit of quality begins long before actual production, with checks on semi-processed parts and sample tests on electronic components. These tests are performed with rapid aging methods by means of alternating exposure to extreme temperatures. Our quality is enhanced during the production process, with computerised equipment making checks on electronic and electrical circuits. The high quality of our finished products is a result of a perfect combination - high...

We have an extensive media communications programme, with advertisements in specialised trade journals and local...

The process begins with carefully selected materials and components, thoroughly tested in compliance with ISO 9001 quality specifications. Our production process covers a variety of mechanical processing phases performed by advanced, latest generation numerical-control machines. These machines combine exceptional performance and reliability in order to guarantee the highest levels of dimensional precision. Robots and other machines (designed and constructed to our own specifications to ensure only the highest standards of quality, safety and accuracy) carry out metalworking operations....
