M.M.: reliability, expertise and quality in FRP processing

Known for reliability, expertise and quality, since 1977 M.M. has been a point of reference in the composite materials sector.

OUR HISTORY

The company is based in Udine and is known as Europe’s leading manufacturer of GRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers) gratings. From the very beginning, M.M.’s goal has been to capitalise on its experience and expertise in the production of gratings and in FRP processing, anticipating possible expansion into other products. In 50 years of activity, M.M. has expanded its range with pultruded profiles, manhole covers, fencing mesh and the construction of structures, always in composite material.

M.M.’s experience has been consolidated thanks to its ability to supply high-quality products and tailor-made solutions that ensure operator safety thanks to corrosion resistance and electrical insulation properties.

Over the years, M.M. has broadened its scope of work to include structures of varying complexity, entirely designed and manufactured in fibreglass – FRP, such as walkways and handrails, fences and gates, ladders and structures. These solutions have found various applications mainly in industry, wastewater and waste treatment, railway infrastructure, electricity production and distribution, and shipbuilding.

THE NEW M.M.: MORE INNOVATIVE AND COMPETITIVE

The generational transition, launched in 2012, involved founder Giorgio Morandini and his children Emanuel, Alessandro and Ilaria. This handover coincided with an organisational drive aimed at strengthening the internal team and introducing new technologies. This is how M.M. has managed to grow, obtain important product certifications in several European countries, strengthen its expansion into new markets and position itself as a benchmark player in the composite materials sector.

M.M.’s FRP gratings are produced using RTM injection moulding technology (Resin Transfer Moulding) or HLU technology (Hand Lay Up), open-mould casting, while the profiles are produced using the pultrusion technique (from the English words pull and extrusion, meaning “traction extrusion”).
The company’s strong focus on research and development has enabled it to start several collaborations with leading research centres and universities in Italy and abroad to develop cutting-edge projects in the composite materials sector.

With many years of experience and a solid reputation in FRP processing, today M.M. continues to look to the future with enthusiasm and determination, ready to take on new challenges and offer customised, high-quality and innovative solutions for its customers worldwide.

MISSION

M.M. aims to design and supply customized GRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers) products and solutions based on the customer’s specific requirements, with high quality standards, to guarantee maximum safety for all users, with special attention to Corporate Social Responsibility.

VISION

M.M. aims to become one of the preferred partners for FRP projects in Italy and Europe. When a potential customer asks: “Who could I rely on to develop this FRP project?”, the market’s answer will be: “If you are looking for a reliable and competent partner, M.M. is the choice”.

THE CHARTER OF VALUES

M.M.’s Charter of Values was conceived with the aim of gathering the fundamental principles that define the company’s identity. It is the reference tool for reflection and synthesis, designed to inspire the decisions and behaviours of all M.M. employees, both in strategic choices and in everyday actions. 

Competence, innovation and passion are the fundamental principles around which the company’s entire activity revolves. These values represent not only M.M.’s roots, but also the guide for its future development.

We believe in people and are proud to rely on valuable employees who, at M.M., have the opportunity to grow and fulfil themselves alongside the development of the company. Through the development of the Charter of Values, we have embarked on a path that invites everyone to be guided by shared principles and to spread awareness of them.

MM Academy

MM Academy is M.M.’s knowledge hub, dedicated to training and professional development. Created to enhance the skills of the internal staff, it has grown to promote the use of FRP solutions externally.

The reference point of MM Academy is the Scientific Committee, an advisory body with a strategic function, composed of M.M. staff professionals and international experts in the composite materials sector.

The training offer provides in-depth sessions with specialist content, as well as activities designed to stimulate cross-functional collaboration, dialogue with the local area and openness to change.

Networking: “TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW” business network

M.M. leads the TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW business network that brings together several long-established manufacturing companies active in the composite materials sector in Friuli Venezia Giulia. This partnership enables M.M. to offer a wide range of complementary products to its own, such as tanks, reservoirs, flanges and GRP pipes, and to support the customer as a single point of contact for custom FRP solutions for all industrial sectors.
