The interview looks at Mondial’s evolution across bearings, power transmission and linear motion, leading to its expansion into mechatronics through the integration of mechanics, electronics, software and intelligent systems. The company’s growth has been driven by a strong focus on customers’ application requirements, the development of special bearings and customised engineering solutions, and continuous investment in new technologies.

From distribution to manufacturing and from mechanical components to integrated mechatronic solutions, the feature retraces 80 years of growth, innovation and international development, highlighting the vision that continues to drive Mondial Group towards the future.
