MR Components, of Grigno, Italy, has significantly increased its production capacity and simultaneously improved quality by introducing intelligent automation with EMAG CNC machines.

The company, which specializes in the production of parts for differential and planetary gears, now produces around 80,000 components per month, with some of the machines running unmanned in the evenings. In a conversation with Alessandro Reguzzo, owner and managing director of MR Components, I was able to find out more about the company’s production philosophy and design and development.

Oliver Hagenlocher: Tell us a little about yourself and your company, MR Components.

Alessandro Reguzzo: I took the step from employee to entrepreneur at the age of 21. It all started in 1995 when I got my first CNC lathe. At first, I worked for a few companies in the region, and gradually my business grew.

OH: Where did you start working?

AR: I started as an apprentice in a nearby company and discovered my passion for precision manufacturing there.
