Relax leaders
Our company was founded in 1998 in Forlì and within a short time it became the Italian and international leader in the market of relax and lift mechanisms for sofas and armchairs.
Italian talent
In the R&D department, we design highly customised technologies developed according to the specific needs of manufacturers.
Overall comfort
We guarantee mass production on a large scale: our mechanisms can be found in many sofas and seats around the world.
Our numbers
Motion’s beating heart is in Italy, but our offices and production facilities can be found in many countries around the world, so we can work alongside all the major international manufacturers.

Innovation and Design
Mechanical and electronic solutions with state-of-the-art materials and technologies are tested daily in our laboratories.
Prototype production follows a long procedure: design takes place in collaboration with designers and manufacturers, the initial prototype testing takes place in our research centres, and continues in certified and internationally recognised laboratories.
Construction & Assmbly
Thanks to our moulding technology, we can guarantee series production with high quality standards: the construction process is calibrated and optimised to ensure both the quality of the mechanisms and the subsequent assembly.

Each step is certified by TÜV (Technischer Überwachungs-Verein, Technical Inspection Association). In this way, we can guarantee the reliability of our mechanisms for armchairs and relaxation sofas worldwide.
