HIWIN is the Italian subsidiary of the HIWIN Group, headquartered in Taiwan. The brand is a highly recognized leading manufacturer of motion control and precision mechanical components and systems. HIWIN follows the “Total Solution” philosophy, combining the expertise of HIWIN Technologies and HIWIN Mikrosystem.
HIWIN Technologies develops and manufactures products for the mechanical sector, while HIWIN Mikrosystem, with its extensive customer base and successful product portfolio in mechatronics, focuses primarily on automation, the general mechanical industry, and machine tools.
Their product range includes not only linear guideways and ballscrews, but also linear axes, linear motors, rotary tables, torque motor rotary tables, torque motors, drives, and AC servomotors.
In HIWIN Italy there is also the System Division, which can produce entire systems, wholly designed with HIWIN components. HIWIN can provide from standard design to fully custom solutions, providing highly specialized technical support from our Italian engineers and tailor-made options studied together with the customer. We have a great stock, and our goal is to spread our mission: to continue manufacture highly precision products, technology and added value to improve the work environment and the everyday life.
The Italian subsidiary operated in Italy which serves domestic and non-domestic customers.
What’s the news about new products/services?
HIWIN continues to innovate and provide components and solutions in the market to let the customer be a high-tech winner. The launch of the new headquarter for the Italian subsidiary, which should be completed by the early months of 2026, aimed to continue support the Italian and Southeastern Europe in the market.
About the components, the range of products includes mechanical and mechatronic products, which could be combined to create total solutions and systems.
Related the innovation side, HIWIN has developed the i4.0BS Intelligent ballscrew, which, thanks to a set of sensors, is able to predictive maintenance evaluating temperature, vibration, lubrication state of the ballscrew.
The KHX Linear Axes are designed to provide smooth and precise linear motion. They are highly durable, capable of supporting heavy loads, and are widely used in machinery and automation systems where accuracy and reliability are essential.
Developed with either belt or ballscrew mechanisms, these linear axes can be assembled to create multi-axis systems.
The main advantage is having complete, ready-to-use solutions that help save both time and costs.
The SSA Linear Axis systems combine linear guideways and linear motors to create ready-to-use modules. They reduce assembly time and are ideal for multi-axis motion systems in industrial automation applications. The system is highly efficient and cost-effective, and it is also environmentally friendly thanks to its low lubrication requirements.
What are the ranges of products/services?
HIWIN offers a wide range of products: Linear Guideways, Ballscrews, Linear axis, Linear motors, ac servomotors, drives, torque motors, direct drive motors and custom solutions. All the products are made by HIWIN, and our technical support is ready to identify the best solution for your application.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
Many manufacturers in Italy, Romania, Slovenia are pursuing modernization, Industry 4.0, smart factories, and upgrading automation lines.
Furthermore, in Southeastern Europe, local manufacturers in machinery, automotive, general industry may be seeking suppliers in proximity—so having a local base in Italy is advantageous for the prompt support and delivery time.
What can you tell us about market trends?
HIWIN can provide miniaturized linear guideways, ballscrews and linear axis for application in which space is reduced but when loads are high and where high precision is needed.
Instead of single components, the request of plug-and-play modules is increasing. Customers increasingly prefer ready axes, preconfigured modules, or gantry systems, reducing integration effort.
The demand for faster cycles, rapid accelerations, and precise motion under dynamic loads continues to grow.
At the same time, customers increasingly value local production and shorter supply chains, choosing suppliers with regional presence to reduce lead times and minimize logistics risks.
Sustainability, materials, and energy efficiency are key priorities for HIWIN, driving the demand for low-loss, low-friction, and high-efficiency motors, as well as reduced energy consumption and the use of recyclable materials.
In recognition of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and ESG principles, HIWIN has been selected as a constituent of the DJSI (Dow Jones Sustainability Index) for Emerging Markets, has passed the SBTi target review toward achieving net-zero emissions, and has received multiple ESG awards — including the BSI (Business Sustainability Index) Award for seven consecutive years and the TCSA (Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards) for four consecutive years, featuring honors such as the Talent Development Leadership Award and the Workplace Well-being Leadership Award.
What estimations do you have for the second half of 2025?
The completion and start of operations of the new Italian headquarters (by end 2025) would increase capacity and logistic to customers.
What estimations do you have for the first half of 2026?
HIWIN is strengthening its presence in the European market, with its Italian subsidiary receiving significant recognition, indicating growing influence.
Furthermore, the HQ company continues to innovate the products range, assuring the leadership in the market as motion control and systems technology components and solutions.
