Established in 1954, Regal, with its Cemp® flameproof electric motors, was among the first companies in Italy to manufacture flameproof motors. Over the years, the product range has broadened introducing flameproof motors with brake, electric pumps for printing machines, flameproof motors for Group IIC gases and for mining. In 1998 Cemp entered a new growth phase joining a large group of private investors and in 2000 it acquired Atav (nowadays Cemp France) a French company specializing in small aluminium flameproof motors. In November 2007 Cemp was acquired by ABG Group, seven years later Cemp joint Regal.
