About us
1919 is the year of the first transatlantic flight, and the year in which we started our adventure in aerospace and defence industry. Born as the avionic division of FIAT, we walked through history as FIAT Avio, Marelli Avio, Simmel Difesa and then, in 1998, we eventually became ASE, aprivately owned company. Our story reflects the incredible challenges that humanity faced in the last century, and the capacity to successfully face them. We’re one century old, and we still feel the enthusiam coming from the challenges of a fast changing world.
The past is important, and we make it our treaure. We build our future everyday, and we strongly want it to be cleaner and greener: our R&D efforts are put in making our products lighter, combining light-weight with the highest reliability, through the use of innovative materials. A lighter unit means minimizing fuel consumption, for a cleaner sky and a cleaner future. We’re proudly working on a project, part of UE’s call“Clean Sky”, to develop a cleaner future.
Company overview
Leader in electrical power generation systems for the aerospace and defence industry.
We are a privately-owned italian company leader in designing, developing and manufacturing electrical power generation and distribution systems for the aerospace and defence industry.
Located near Malpensa airport, Milan, our headquarter and productive plant is 15.000 wide. ASE is one of the most important members of Lombardy Aerospace Cluster. Thanks to our 100 years history, we are one of the most qualified and experienced partners in aerospace and defence market for suppling electromechanical and electrical equipment for both aircraft and ground defence vehicles.
The products designed and developed by us have been selected by European and World-wide leading companies for more than half a century to power their projects.
History
A 100 years long experience.
Our origins date back to 1919, with the foundation of Magneti Marelli Group, one of the most important italian companies at time. The design and the production of electromechanical and electrical equipment for fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft and ground defence vehicles began in 1946, when the company took the name of Magneti Marelli Avio division. The activities in aerospace began with the manufacturing under license of the Electric Power Generation System and Electronic Ignition Unit for the F104S program. The company become independent with the name of Magneti Marelli Avio in 1987 and experienced a period of fast growth; it started to be engaged in the most important National and European programs with its own developed products.
The company took the name of Magneti Marelli S.p.A. and then it became Fiat Avio S.p.A.; the company belonged to Fiat Group until 1998, when it became a privately-owned company, with the current name of ASE S.p.A.
Thanks to continual investments in the development of new products and strategic partnerships, we could to establish ourselves firmly not only in the Italian, but also in the European, Middle and Far East Aerospace and Defence market.
In 2009 a transfer of ownership, followed by a radical management reorganization, marked a turning point in the history of ASE, opening a new era of expansion based on investments in design and management information systems, production and test equipment, and an increase of human resources, particularly in the areas of design, quality control and laboratory testing.
Today ASE is ready to take on the challenge of the next decade with a good backlog of projects in development and a rich portfolio of programs.
