General Cab

General Cab was founded in 1982 by a brother and a sister who continue to actively lead the company today, together with their families.
The journey began with wiring systems and mechatronic component assembly, building deep technical expertise starting from each single part.
The opening of the production site in Celle Enomondo marked the first step toward an industrial culture based on manufacturing know-how, technical competence and long-term vision.
From the very beginning, the company grew by mastering every component before moving to the finished product.

During the 1990s, General Cab strengthened its manufacturing structure through plant expansions and the introduction of electric motor assembly for automotive applications.
In-house plastic injection molding was established, enabling the company to control both mechanical and electrical components internally.
Production capabilities were also extended to applications beyond the core automotive sector, supported by the same internal manufacturing expertise.
The opening of the Tunisian plant marked the company’s first international manufacturing expansion.

The 2000s represented a decisive technological step.
An internal R&D department was created to design proprietary electric motors — and soon after, complete system solutions including motor-fans, shrouds and integrated assemblies.
The establishment of an internal tooling workshop further reinforced vertical integration, giving full control over mold design and production.
During this decade, General Cab entered the electric motor-fan segment for air conditioning and heat exchanger applications, moving from component expertise to fully engineered finished products developed in-house.

The 2010s were marked by strategic expansion and diversification.
Through the acquisition of a specialized company, General Cab strengthened its expertise in brush-holder assemblies and mechatronic components, significantly expanding its external customer base.
The establishment of a warehouse and commercial operations in the United States brought the company closer to the North American market, reinforcing customer support and responsiveness.
At the same time, plastic molding and co-molding capabilities were increasingly applied to non-automotive markets, leveraging internal competencies across different industries.
This decade consolidated General Cab as a fully integrated system supplier, working in close collaboration with OEMs and supporting them from component design to complete system solutions.

The 2020s mark a new technological evolution with the development of brushless motor platforms and a significant expansion of the electric motor-fan and mechatronic product range.
The acquisition of operations in China further strengthened the company’s international footprint, while the construction of a new production facility in Tunisia represents a major step in supporting future growth and increased manufacturing capacity.
Electric motor-fans are now being developed for applications beyond traditional automotive segments, while advanced mechatronic capabilities — including plastic molding, co-molding and electronic integration — enable General Cab to deliver complete, engineered solutions across multiple industries.
An international company with Italian roots, General Cab continues to grow globally while maintaining its engineering direction, ownership and industrial leadership firmly based in Italy.
