The new Brembo production centre enables the group to better serve German, French, British and Italian client’s facilities in Central-Eastern Europe. Thanks to 39 production lines and two foundries it will double its production capacity.

The official opening ceremony, which took place on Friday, the 14th of October at the Dabrowa Gornicza factory, was attended by Brembo President Alberto Bombassei, and representatives of Polish authorities, Italian authorities and international media.

– "It is my pleasure to open this new factory in Poland, which reinforces our presence in a country that is becoming the geographical center of the automotive industry in Europe. Our company celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with strong positive financial results” – said Alberto Bombassei, president of Brembo.

This new area requires investments for more than 100 million euros and is designed to fully integrate all the phases of the production value chain, from the receiving of raw materials to the shipping of the completed product. It doubles the previous factory and now is based on a 90,000 square meters area. The new plant will employ 1200 people and thanks to 39 production lines and two foundries will double the production capacity.

The new Brembo plants at Dabrowa have been designed and built in accordance with the very latest criteria to guarantee quality, efficiency and care for the environment, with a view to minimizing waste and maximizing the recovery of energy. A few examples:
• Heat generated in the process of cooling the furnaces is reused to provide space heating
• Recycled foundry sands are “washed” using an advanced system allowing recovery of the bentonite content
• The filtration system for the furnaces is among the most innovative in the world
• The quality of parts produced is guaranteed by vision systems, by shot-blasting machines differentiated according to weight and size, and by automatic checks on moulds and flasks.
