Persico sets up production sites to reach out to more global customers

Persico has just founded Persico USA. To meet the need of our customers, the company has expanded to America by acquiring  Autoplas, a well-known firm in Detroit, Michigan. “We will continue to manufacture the American company’s existing products – equipment and machinery for the auto industry,” Alessandra Persico, managing director of Persico Automotive, said. “Additionally, we will start production of our own products – initially for the automotive sector, but subsequently for other industries, as needed by the customers of our other divisions (aerospace/aeronautics, rotomoulding and marine).”

In recent years China has been among the fastest growing markets, and, for this reason, the company has earlier set up Persico Asia. Persico Asia was created when Persico acquired the mouldmaking division of a company named EPL, with production facilities near Ningbo, China. The acquired division has been engaged in the design and manufacture of moulds for SMC and injection moulding since 2006. In the future, Persico Asia will produce not only these products but also other types of moulding tools, including prefixing and edge-folding, currently manufactured by Persico in Italy.

In Italy, Persico has purchased an area of 39.000 square metres near its present facilities. Moreover, in order to improve manufacturing efficiency and vertical integration, the company has bought 2 new millers Fpt Ronin.
