It was also during this period that the company established subsidiaries in Germany, France, UK, and Spain in order to expand its direct sales organization overseas. During the 1990s, Rossi became the first transmissions manufacturer in Italy to receive ISO 9001 Quality System Certification. It was also during this period that the company introduced universal mounting as well as a new modular system in coaxial gear reducers. In addition, Rossi developed a low-noise brake motor as well as the industrialization of independent cooling for electric motors.
