Who We Are

Askoll, The Future Of Innovation

Founded in Italy in 1978, the Askoll Group was born from the revolutionary and visionary idea of its founder, Elio Marioni: applying synchronous technology to electric motors. This technology allows electric motors to consume over 50% less energy than traditional motors. By maintaining the same power output, it’s possible to create smaller motors, reducing the use of materials like copper and iron — a key contribution to environmental sustainability.

Originally developed for the aquarium industry, this technology was later expanded to household appliances, heating systems, and, after years of research, to urban mobility.

One technology, 3 markets

Our Business Divisions

What do an aquarium, a washing machine, and Italy’s best-selling electric scooters have in common? The answer: high energy efficiency, very low consumption, and raw material savings. All of these qualities are embodied in our electric motors, which for over 45 years have been powering innovation across diverse markets—seemingly unrelated, yet united by a shared commitment to building a better future.

The President

Elio Marioni

In the beginning, it was just an idea.


It was 1978, and at the World Cup in Argentina, Paolo Rossi—adopted son of Vicenza—redefined the role of a centre forward: to score goals, you no longer needed to be a giant, but quick, intuitive, and imaginative.


That same year, Elio Marioni invented a small, unique aquarium pump. But what he truly created was something far more revolutionary: a new concept of electric pump, powered by a compact, high-efficiency synchronous motor.


In just a few years, this pump has supplanted millions and millions of them, leading a revolution that, in over 45 years, has changed the world of aquariums, household appliances, heating and, since 2015, sustainable mobility.
 

Our team

The real driving force behind Askoll

We firmly believe that our greatest strength lies in collaboration — in the combination of skills, ideas, and the collective impact we can have in building a better and more sustainable tomorrow.

From 1978

Our history

1978

Askoll revolutionises the world of aquariology with the launch of its first synchronous pump, specifically designed to guarantee optimum performance in aquariums of all sizes. An innovation that combines efficiency, reliability and continuous attention to the environment.

1986

The Askoll synchronous pump is applied to the world of household appliances, bringing a real revolution to the sector, redefining standards of quality and innovation. Thanks to its cutting-edge design and exceptional performance, the Askoll pump meets the most modern needs, offering sustainable and durable solutions for optimal daily use.

1997

The path of internationalisation began: a strategic project aimed at conquering new markets, enhancing local excellence and consolidating presence on a global scale, tackling with determination the challenges of an increasingly competitive context, to meet the demands of partners such as Electrolux, Whirlpool, Candy, Bosch, Indesit, who chose Askoll technology for their products.

2000

Askoll introduces its innovative synchronous pump to the world of heating: the cutting-edge technology, designed to optimise the performance of heating systems, reduces energy consumption and guarantees quiet, long-lasting operation. A solution that meets the need for comfort and respect for the environment, ideal for modern, sustainable systems.

2008

Askoll acquires Emerson Appliance Motor Europe, strengthening its leading position in the sector. A unique opportunity to expand the product offering, access new markets and consolidate the company's know-how, confirming Askoll's commitment to innovation and sustainable growth on a global level.

2015

Askoll officially presents its first electric vehicles to the market, marking the birth of Askoll EVA - a historic milestone for the company and the urban electric mobility sector. The result of years of research and development, the first models of e-bikes and electric scooters provide a practical solution for everyday urban commuting. In Italy alone, we sold over 1,000 e-bikes in the first year.

2017

Askoll EVA starts its first meaningful partnerships with European scooter-sharing operators, who choose Askoll e-scooters for their reliability and durability. In the following years, these partnerships will be consolidated to the extent that, by 2022, in Rome, the only shared scooters are those produced by Askoll.

2018

Askoll EVA is listed on the AIM Italia segment of the Milan Stock Exchange (renamed Euronext Growth Milan in 2021), intended for SMEs with high growth potential. For the first year, Askoll EVA's e-scooters are the best-selling in Italy, with a market share of over 50%.

2022

Askoll ULTRA is born, the first brand in the e-bike sector completely dedicated to the creation of the ultimate power unit for e-bikes. Askoll ULTRA C90A is the brand's first model: a 110 Nm brushless power unit, ready to be customised according to customer requirements.
