About the Franz Morat Group

Welcome to the Franz Morat Group based in Eisenbach in the Upper Black Forest! Building on the traditions of the inventors and precision engineers from the Black Forest region, our passion has always been the development of highly precise gearwheels, drive components and complete drive systems and remains so to this day.

We develop customised drive solutions – whether in plastic, metal or a combination of both – in cooperation with our customers, starting from the initial idea right through to series production. True to our mission statement, we develop and produce individual parts, assemblies, transmissions and also full drive units.

As a global company we are always in close proximity to our customers thanks to our highly efficient international logistics and above all our strategically located sales and production sites. These sites ensure we remain closely linked to the industrial centres in the USA, Mexico, Poland and Turkey.

Our mission

“We develop and produce gears, gear components and electromechanical drive systems for our customers’ specific requirements.”

Our Group is made up of two sister companies:

F. Morat is our specialist for the automotive sector for which it produces quiet, lightweight and powerful drive systems. It enables vehicle manufacturers and suppliers to combine their requirements for comfort and functionality with efficiency and dynamics.

Framo Morat is the specialist for industrial customers. No matter whether in the fields of automation, intralogistics, medical and rehabilitation technology, renewable energies or agriculture, the drive solutions from Framo Morat can be found reliably performing their intended task in almost all industrial sectors and across the entire globe.

These two specialists bring us a little closer to realising our vision every day:

Our vision

“Powering the future with our components and drive systems.”

Our values

Reliability

You can rely on us – this simple message is something we embrace every day. Our customers know that we will meet our deadlines and achieve our high quality standards. At the same time, we offer our employees secure jobs and a helpful, trusting working environment. Our reliability in these two areas is the basis for achieving sustained success.

Flexibility

Flexibility means always being ready to adapt to new situations and develop innovative solutions. For our customers, this means that we are ready to satisfy all of their requirements and find creative solutions for complex tasks. We also offer our employees the flexibility they need to balance their professional and private lives.

Expertise

Our expertise makes us a reliable partner for challenging specifications. It is the result of our own research, continuous training and many years of experience. We are especially proud of the fact that many employees pass on their knowledge from one generation to the next. This wealth of experience forms the basis for the production of first-class gear components and drive systems.

Stability and independence

As we are a family-run business with a history stretching back over 110 years, we have also been making our own decisions independently for over 110 years. Our only obligations are to our customers, employees and our high quality standards – and not to shareholders and investors. This gives us the freedom to think and act for the long term and at the same time remain true to our roots: As a company with strong regional ties, we take responsibility for the place where we are based and its people.

Black Forest virtues

We build on the traditions of precision engineers from the Black Forest region. To this day, we are still driven by the renowned innovative spirit of these Black Forest pioneers as we meticulously develop new high-precision solutions for our customers. At the same time, we have remained down-to-earth craftsmen with strong roots in the local community, while being a reliable partner that places great value in long and trusting customer relationships.
