Moradelli

Moradelli is a German metalworking company based in Munich, founded in 1794. It specialises in the punching and embossing of metal sheets, producing perforated and embossed panels for architectural and industrial applications. The firm's historical roots lie in a family from Trento, Italy; Andreas Moradelli moved to Munich in 1790 at the age of 22. Over the centuries the company has evolved from a locksmith and metalwork workshop into a specialist supplier of perforated facades, balconies, and decorative metal elements. Its product range includes a wide variety of hole patterns (round, square, slotted, rectangular, diamond, triangular, hexagonal, elliptical, and ornamental), as well as embossed sheets with round, knob, square, pyramid, diamond, hammered, and grooved textures. Moradelli serves architects, builders, and industrial clients, with references including the Audi Terminal facades and various balcony and facade projects. The company remains privately held and continues to operate from Munich, offering custom perforation and embossing services alongside standard catalogue products.

Moradelli was founded in 1794 in Munich by Andreas Moradelli, whose family originated from Trento, Italy, where his father worked as a shoemaker. Andreas moved to Munich in 1790 at the age of 22. The company initially operated as a metalworking and locksmith business. A notable figure in its history is Charles Moradelli, grandson of the founder, who was appointed locksmith to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Charles designed the door fittings and locks for the castles of Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, and Herrenchiemsee, where he also created metal ceilings and stair railings. He is credited with inventing the mechanism that allowed the dining table in the dining room to rise directly from the kitchens and appear before the king without the intervention of servants. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, the company transitioned from traditional locksmithing to industrial metalworking, specialising in the punching and embossing of metal sheets. Today, Moradelli produces a wide range of perforated and embossed metal products for architectural and industrial applications, with references including the Audi Terminal facades and various balcony and facade projects. The company remains based in Munich and is privately held.
