La Storia

  • ROOTS IN THE MECHANICAL BACKGROUND OF THE 1970s

    «Studio G2 Trasmac» is born in Modena, one of the few independent
    technical offices in the area specialized in the design of mechanical
    transmissions, particularly gears

  • GEAR CALCULATION SOFTWARE PROCESSING

    Among the first engineering companies in Italy, Studio G2 Trasmac
    develops its own software for calculating gears and uses this tool for
    the development of plenty of gear drives

  • STUDIO PROMETEO IS FOUNDED

     

    The engineers Marco Borsari and Fabrizio Ferrari founded “Studio
    Associato Prometeo”, taking over the activity of Studio G2 Trasmac of
    which they had already been partners for some time.
    The first pilot projects for the electrification and hybridization of
    agricultural transmissions begin

  • FIRST EXPANSION

    Studio Associato Prometeo expands its staff and invests in new
    calculation and design tools, essential for dealing with global
    companies customers.

  • PROTOTYPE MAKERS

    The engineering activity is combined with the construction of
    prototypes of transmission units to finalize some projects for
    customers. The company structure adapts to this new need and
    «Prometeo srl» is born.

  • AUTOMOTIVE AND FIRST ELECTRICAL TRANSITIONS

    Prometeo's involvement in the automotive gearbox sector grews up, in
    particular for Automated Manual (AMT) and Dual Clutch (DCT) systems.

  • PROMETEO PRODUCTS

    Taking advantage of the know-how gained in mechanical transmissions,
    Prometeo begins the development of its own automotive products,
    which it designs internally and then produces in series. This year saw
    the debut of the Giunto Panda 4×4, a successful component still on the
    market. The Products division is created alongside the Design division.

  • PROJECTS IN OTHER FIELDS

    Other companies of primary importance make use of Prometeo's
    design and engineering services in fields other than traditional ones.
    These are Oil & Gas and machinery in the food sector, in which
    significant multi-year collaborations are undertaken.

  • INCREASE OF PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

    The product division increases its portfolio, consisting of different
    models of self-locking differentials, with the Increased Oil Pan for 500
    Abarth, a product much appreciated by Italian and international tuners.

  • IRACE TUBULAR CAR

    The project of the «Irace» tubular car, conceived and developed
    completely within Prometeo, finds its goal in the prototype set-up and
    in the fun tests on the track and on the road.

  • INNOVATION HYBRID AND ELECTRIC PROJECTS

    Prometeo continues to be involved in several important projects
    related to hybridisation and electrification of transmissions in the
    agricultural machinery field. The design division is increasingly skilled
    in innovation and it’s able to transform an idea into a project.

  • HYBRIDIZATION OF NAVAL TRANSMISSIONS

    Due to the collaboration with industry leaders, Prometeo's involvement in important hybridization projects for leisure naval transmissions begins
