BREMBO TO INVEST € 74 MILLIONTO BUILD A NEW FOUNDRY IN THE USA
The Group announces plans to broaden its industrial capacity in Michigan and verticallyintegrate its production processes. Once construction is completed, the approximately
30,000 square meter facility will have an annual output of up to 80,000 tons.
Brembo has announced the construction of a cast iron foundry near its Homer facilities inMichigan, beginning the process of vertical integration of its production capacity in United States.
Construction will begin in 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2017, allowing Brembo to bring
together all phases of production in order to guarantee greater process efficiency.
Thanks to a € 74 million ($100 million) investment, Brembo will operate a modern foundry facility
that, once it reaches full production capacity, will yield up to an annual output of 80,000 tons of
brake disc castings. The foundry together with engineering and technical offices and warehouse
space will cover an area of approximately 30,000 square meter and will create 250 jobs at thefoundry and at the company’s Plymouth R&D Center and Headquarters.
The realization of a new foundry in Michigan reinforces the company’s commitment to the North
American market, which has grown substantially over the past five years and is slated to become
Brembo’s number one geographic market by the end of 2014.
“Following the opening of our Plymouth headquarters and R&D center in 2010 and two months
away from the completion of the recent Homer plant expansion, we are glad to announce thissignificant investment approved today, which will reinforce the link between Brembo and the UnitedStates, one of the most important automotive markets in the world”, said Brembo S.p.A Chairman,
Alberto Bombassei. “The increasing number of global platforms being built by vehicle
manufacturers prompts us to seek the best possible integration between the different stages of thevalue chain, replicating the integrated production model that we have adopted for some time now
in our facilities in Italy, and recently in Poland and China”.
This new investment will be financed with cash flow generated by the Group and will be supported
by incentives made possible by the State of Michigan and the Michigan Economic Development
Corporation.
Brembo began its expansion in North America in 1988, but its recent growth was spurred by thepurchase of the Hayes-Lemmerz Automotive Brake Component division in November of 2007
when it acquired the manufacturing facility in Homer, Mich., as well as one in Apodaca - Mexico.
In 2010, Brembo opened its American headquarters and R & D Centre in Plymouth, Mich. andexpanded the Homer plant earlier this year.
Brembo also has a facility in Mooresville, North Carolina, near the headquarters of several major
racing teams. Brembo's high performance brake systems have supported F1, IndyCar, NASCAR,Le Mans and MotoGP, among others.
