Turin, June 27, 2023 – A new CNH Industrial plant dedicated to the production of mini-excavators, up to 2 tons including electric models, and tracked skid steer loaders was inaugurated today in Cesena.

A pole of excellence that as of yesterday also has a new canteen, inaugurated by CNH Industrial management in the presence of the deputy mayor of Bagno di Romagna, Enrico Spighi.
The industrial reality, strongly rooted in the area, now has over 400 employees between San Piero in Bagno and Cesena, 60 percent of whom are under 35 years of age; it also boasts an important allied industry and products that have always been a benchmark in the sector, appreciated internationally and exported worldwide under the CASE Construction Equipment, New Holland Construction and Eurocomach brands.

Federico Bullo declared:
“When it acquired this industrial entity in late 2021, CNH Industrial set out to grow it further by investing in technology, research and development, and, most importantly, in people. The inauguration of the canteen in San Piero and that of the Cesena plant are tangible proof of that commitment.”
