Signo Motus is a research-driven Italian SME, founded in 1994, with headquarters in Messina and a technical unit in Pisa. Since its inception, it has actively participated in numerous European and national R&D projects.

The company's mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technologies and their industrial application through research activities and the integration of advanced solutions. Its core expertise includes robotics, smart materials, additive manufacturing, and ICT, with a competitive edge built on both basic and applied research

Signo Motus supports the team by 3D printing the mechanical joints of the boat, the steering wheel, and some components of the steering system. The company deals with the design and production of functional sandwich structures and components utilising composite materials reinforced with both short and continuous fibres, including sustainable solutions. By employing both traditional and robotic additive manufacturing techniques, the company advances research and development in innovative materials and manufacturing processes.

Founded over 50 years ago in the Great Lakes region of the United States, Harken is now a world leader in the production of sailing deck hardware. Harken blocks, tracks, winches, furling systems and hydraulics can be found on all types of boats: from the smallest dinghies to the largest superyachts; from custom-built boats to production models. Harken's manufacturing capabilities and robotics have enabled the company to expand beyond the recreational sailing sector. This constant and dynamic activity has led to ongoing technological investment. Harken has adapted its blocks, winches and travellers for industrial applications. Their high strength, low weight and compact size make them ideal for high-load rope systems used in commercial marine operations, mountain rescue, and alpine environments.

As Harken's business continues to grow, the company remains true to its core values: a commitment to producing top-quality products and providing outstanding customer care — from the friendly voice on the phone to the expert support offered by qualified technicians.
