COMPREHENSIVE KNOW-HOW AND A COMPLETE SUPPLY CHAIN DEVOTED TO THE FUTURE

Piemonte’s automotive & transportation production encompasses the entire supply chain from the upstream phases to the final products, offering business and know-how from the concept of the vehicle till its delivery: project planning, prototyping, styling, robotics and automation, components and mass production, industrialisation of the product and driving test.

The tradition of “knowing how to make cars” has always been preserved while being reinterpreted to match changing market request and available technologies. Moreover, the role of machinery industry, R&D and design is strategic at every level. The strong leadership of Piemonte in robotics and mechatronics has fostered innovation, automation and cost-efficiency throughout the entire supply chain also by the widespread adoption of casting processes for lightweight material and new manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies.

Furthermore, through the link with leading systems and technology providers (often located in the area), the supply chain is able to offer high qualified capabilities and competences on electrical and electronic architecture, including power conversion systems, safe and secure real-time communication systems, advanced human-machine interfaces and remote monitoring systems.
