 Techno-Line-Service, TLS Riduttori snc

Is a manufacture of worm & gear speed reducers (aka Gearboxes) in Bologna Italy in the shadows of the giants Bonfiglioli Riduttori, Siti, Motovario, Chirarvalli, STM Riduttori, and our own Tramec.  At its start the problem in Italy with the market leaders was and remains delivery.  

As the reader might know, replacing a power transmission product involves two critical features. 

1.  Performance must be equal or better.

2.  Dimensions must be identical for shaft or bore sizes and foot or flange mounting.

The Italians have been designing and manufacturing worm & gear reducers for over 500 years, in most cases the rest of the world learned from the Italian masters, and further Bologna is the epicenter of Italian gearbox design & production, so Performance from an Italian worm gear manufacture is continually optimized and quality is unquestionable. 

Dimensions on the other hand are dictated by history, and in Italy the oldest worm gear manufactures designed and redesigned their gearboxes to replace their original designs so they could keep their old customers and legacy applications while improving performance and manufacturing techniques.  Younger reducer manufactures when entering the market design their products along the dimensional standards of the oldest gearbox manufactures who had the market share to take.  In Italy, those legacy dimensions are Bonfiglioli, Siti, Chiravalli, and Motovario.

The market leaders in Italy focused on designing and manufacturing worm & gear reducers to be ever more competitive in price, producing a modular product, die-cast aluminum in near-net dimensions, with a keen focus on producing perfection in mass quantities at lower and lower cost.  In pure cost or quantity production, Bonfiglioli, Siti, Chiravalli, and Motovario cannot be beaten, as this is what they have focused on.

So what is a young company to do?  What UVP can they offer in such a market?  Delivery time.  The very large scale production of the market leaders is not focused on fast delivery, it is focused on low cost in mass quantity.  Quality is designed in and standardized across Italian worm gear manufactures. 

TLS and its North American partner, TVT America have the Unique Value Position of being able to deliver a drop-in replacement for the Bonfiglioli, Siti, Chiravalli, or Motovario in days, if not hours, in a market that is often 10-12 weeks.   If you want a high performance, high quality worm gear reducer, you look to Italians, but if you want it quickly there is one Italian above all in the field, and that is TLS, and in North America TLS is TVT.
