Motion-control expert Allient announced a new initiative to drive growth in high-technology motion applications across North America. The company has appointed Robert Mastromattei, its Chief Commercial Officer for the Motion business in North America, as an Allient Group President. In this role, he will oversee P&L for a select group of Technology Units focused on advanced motion solutions.
The initiative integrates several U.S.-based Motion Technology Units to operate as a unified entity, targeting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers with needs for high torque, high power density, high speed, precise positioning, and coordinated motion control in demanding environments, such as harsh or cleanroom settings. The focus is on delivering custom-designed components and systems, referred to by Allient as “Custom Critical,” to meet the performance requirements of complex motion applications where standard solutions are inadequate.
Dick Warzala, Chairman and CEO, stated that the initiative aligns Allient’s capabilities with the needs of innovative industries, aiming to enhance system performance, accelerate development, and support long-term customer success. Mastromattei emphasized the commitment to providing engineered solutions that address complex technical challenges, enabling customers to operate more effectively in their markets.
Mastromattei, who holds an M.S. in engineering, brings extensive experience in commercial strategy, operational leadership, and precision motion solutions. He co-founded Applimotion and Sierramotion Inc., the latter acquired by Allient in 2023. Sierramotion specializes in custom mechatronic and motion component solutions for medical, defense, robotics, and industrial applications, contributing to Allient’s enhanced engineering capabilities and customer responsiveness.
