A great technological and industrial history with a legacy of know-how unique in the world.

As the cradle of industry in Italy, Torino has accumulated over a century and a half of technical knowledge. A unique heritage, conserved and constantly enriched by individuals, companies and research centres. An extraordinary development resource that makes the city a high-tech centre of worldwide importance.
Torino's strategic competency is its capacity for integration. Engineering, electronics and telecommunications together help to develop the technologies of tomorrow - starting with industrial automation.
On the outskirts of Torino, a network of small and medium-sized high-tech companies design and manufacture robots for use in the most diverse production sectors. Complex functions such as movement, vision, handling, process and quality control are managed throughout the world by plants conceived in Torino. Comau-Pico, the world leader in automotive production systems, is located here.
Torino is where the Fiat Group was founded and still operates.
As one of Europe's largest holding companies, it produces Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo cars, Iveco industrial and commercial vehicles, and the agricultural and construction machinery of Case New Holland and Fiat-Hitachi. The automotive sector - always one of the drivers of the city's economy - is still today the chief manufacturing sector. But Torino also leads the field in other sectors: aeronautics and aerospace (Alenia, Fiat Avio, Microtecnica), telephones (Motorola, Noicom), food and beverages (Lavazza, Martini & Rossi, Cinzano), textiles and clothing (GFT, Invicta, BasicNet, Superga).
The combination of skilled craftsmanship and industrial capacity is the fundamental characteristic of specialised publishing, quality printing and the production of pens, with fourteen locally-based companies of international standing.
A multifaceted, cutting-edge industrial system that develops advanced technology niches without losing contact with the evolution of traditional markets. All this backed up by widespread entrepreneurial skills, high levels of research and development, a strong economic structure and highly specialised workforce.
