CIFA Spa, part of the Zoomlion Group, pursues its development plans with the construction of a new plant to manufacture and assemble cranes, truck cranes, forklifts and AWPs.
CIFA Spa – a long-standing Italian company in the concrete machinery manufacturing sector and part of Chinese group Zoomlion Heavy Industry – has confirmed its investment plan for Italy with the creation of a new plant in Solferino, Northern Italy.
A close bond with the local area is key for the company based in Milan (Senago), both for the know-how characterising the region’s industrial heritage and for its strategic position in the centre of Europe. Europe is the target market for which the new plant was built. It will accommodate the assembly and manufacturing activities of cranes, truck cranes, forklifts and AWPs by Zoomlion intended for European customers.
A 10,000 m2 plant, in an area with over 20,000 m2 , intended for the expansion of the product supply in the lifting, mobile crane and tower crane sector. A leading-edge factory that, just like the products, has high quality and safety levels: the premises are fully cabled to allow for the connection of state-of-the-art machinery with 4.0 technology. The rooms are laid out according to lean production principles and safety systems.
Aware of the importance of guaranteeing economic growth that is also sustainable, the reduction of the environmental impact was also a key aspect in the creation of the factory. As a result they have included a solar panel system fitted on the roof which supplies power for manufacturing activities and LED lighting of the whole premises.
Zoomlion and CIFA have confirmed they intend to keep on investing in this Italian logistics and manufacturing hub by focusing on innovation and internationalisation as levers for growth to attain a leading position on the European market in a strategic sector for economic recovery like construction.
