FIRGELLI®: Putting the World in Motion Since 2002
FIRGELLI® was founded on a simple but ambitious premise: to democratize precision motion control. Established in 2002 by Robbie Dickson, FIRGELLI® was the first company to bridge the gap between expensive, contract-only industrial hydraulics and the emerging world of electric linear actuation.
With a background in aeronautical and mechanical engineering—honed at Rolls-Royce, BMW, and Ford—Dickson recognized that the same engineering rigor used in automotive aerodynamics could be scaled for robotics, home automation, and industrial machinery. Today, FIRGELLI® stands as a global engineering partner, synonymous with quality, scalability, and innovation.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Our hardware operates in environments where failure is not an option. We are not just a component supplier; we are the motion control backbone for some of the world’s most advanced organizations. We are proud to supply mission-critical hardware to NASA, SpaceX, General Motors, Tesla Motors, and the US Military.
Whether deploying air-brakes on a supercar, actuating solar arrays for clean energy, or automating critical medical equipment, FIRGELLI® provides the engineering certainty that major OEMs demand.
"FIRGELLI is a dependable source for trusted names... The applications of our products extend from TV lifts and automated furniture to armored vehicles, all the way to advanced air-brake spoilers for supercars."
— Robbie Dickson, Founder & CEO
Our Mission: Engineering for Scale
We believe that automation should be seamless, silent, and reliable. Our mission is to eliminate the complexity of integration. We maintain a massive inventory of off-the-shelf components for immediate deployment, while simultaneously offering custom engineering services for partners who require specific stroke lengths, force capacities, or feedback sensors for high-volume manufacturing.
