A company abreast of the times
A story that began way back
Ours is an Italian company that has been designing and manufacturing components for engines and micromotors for over 45 years.
Backed by our experience, we can offer extremely reliable, technologically advanced products compliant with the highest safety standards.
1978
Selettra was established in Castelmaggiore for the purpose of designing and manufacturing complete ignition units for internal combustion engines
2003
After moving twice, we enlarged both the electronic department and the offices of the Bentivoglio facility
2008
Investments were made in new robotic lines for application of mechanical finish machining processes to magneto flywheels
2010
The light aluminium alloy die-casting work was brought in-house
Oggi
We now invest in technologies to achieve increased productivity, competitiveness and the highest possible quality level through automation
Each year we produce
5.000.000
Flywheels
100.000
Ignition units
20.000
Rotors
Core sectors
Our products are mainly used in the following sectors: gardening and maintenance of green spaces, go-karts, motorsports, RC model building, paramotors, outboard and ultralight motors.
“Made in Selettra” go-kart ignition units are CIK-FIA type-approved for participation in international races and competitions.
