BREMBO TO INVEST €115 MILLION
TO EXPAND IN THE UNITED STATES AND BRAZIL
THE INVESTMENT ON THE TWO AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL HUBS WILL LEAD THE SUBSIDIARIESBREMBO NORTH AMERICA AND BREMBO DO BRASIL TO DOUBLE THEIR REVENUES
In the 2013-2015 three-year period, Brembo S.p.A. will make a total investment of €115 million in North
America, to expand the Homer industrial hub (Detroit, Michigan), and Brazil, to move and step up productionin the current Plant in São Paulo. These investments are in line with the Group’s development strategy
aimed at strengthening the productive capacity in the areas where customers are demanding a greater
product volume and a higher service level.
In the United States, the investment will total €83 million, thus significantly increasing the productive capacityof the Homer industrial hub. The expansion of the plant has become necessary after the acquisition of new
businesses and further market shares with our main North American customers, such as Chrysler, General
Motors and Ford. This initiative is expected to enable the subsidiary Brembo North America Inc. to double itssales, going from €178.5 million for 2012 to about €350 million for 2015.
In Brazil, €32 million will be used to move the current plant from São Paulo to Santo Antonio de Posse (northof São Paulo), where a larger and more modern plant will be put into operation, enabling the Company tomeet its growing production requirements. Also the subsidiary Brembo do Brasil Ltda is thus expected toincrease its sales by about 100% in the three-year period, going from €66.6 million for 2012 to about €130
million for 2015.
“Brembo’s investments in the Americas,” stated Group Chairman Alberto Bombassei, “support two importantareas that continue to perform dynamically and show positive market trends and that are marked by agradual increase in demand for our products. The company must continue down the path ofinternationalisation and, in parallel to these measures, it will continue to plan investments not only in
expanding markets such as China, India and Eastern Europe, but also in Italy where, although theautomotive crisis unfortunately is not showing clear signs of a reversal of the current recessionary trend, we
have continued to invest, from 2008 to the present, at a rate of over € 40 million a year.”
