Our History
Consulting and advanced design tools for the space and automotive sectors
Highftech Engineering is a company established at the beginning of 2000, with the main objective of providing customised consultancy to large companies operating in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Highftech Engineering was born from the intuition of its founder who, after working as a freelance consultant for many Italian and foreign companies in the ‘Space’ sector, decided to start an SME equipped with advanced design tools and highly qualified personnel.
Today, Highftech Engineering offers diverse products and numerous services for the aerospace sector, services for industry and beyond. It is involved in research and development in high-tech sectors (space, automotive and composites). We work alongside those in the robotics, high performance automatic machines, internal combustion engines; the motorcycle/cycling, packaging, biomedical, energy and other sectors. We design and propose state-of-the-art solutions for companies in different sectors. In each case we carefully analyse the needs and requirements of the companies, in order to realise together new efficient products or improved production processes.

Our Mission
The transfer of technology, based on the know-how acquired through experience in the high-tech field, has enabled us to provide many new tools for design and analysis. It has also led us to propose excellent solutions for rapid prototyping, experimental measurements, dimensional control, liquid penetrant testing and more. Highftech Engineering supports the customer by taking care of all stages of project development. We support companies step by step, from the critical analysis of requirements to mechanical design, from the choice of materials to machining, all the way to the finished product, tested and validated by numerical simulations and experimental tests.
Our aim is to propose new methods for new product development to companies, guaranteeing optimal solutions and professional services for the aerospace and aeronautics sectors, as well as consultancy services for the automotive industry and beyond. Nowadays there are technologies that enable us to reach Mars, but there are still many challenges waiting for us on Earth. We at Highftech Engineering intend to help companies overcome those challenges, move forward, grow and specialise in producing excellent products.
