Spanning over 7,500 square meters, the site will cater to the growding demand for axial piston pumps while also providing components for pump sister plants in North America and China thanks to its 40% additional capacity in machining and assembly. The site features a cutting-edge assembly line, upgraded and new machining centers, an oil analysis laboratory, and an optimized layout primed for future expansion. It also integrates research and development capabilities, along with dedicated test benches for new product development and product qualification.

A model for sustainability

In line with Poclain’s commitment to sustainability, the facility is equipped with solar panels on its roof, covering up to 20% of the plant’s energy needs.

The new factory, a center of excellence for axial piston pumps, embodies Poclain’s vision to be a leader in designing and manufacturing hydrostatic and electrohydraulic transmissions, perpetually embracing state-of-the-art products and processes. Pascal Magueur, Group Industrial Director, says “we are thrilled to open this facility to support our customer’s growing demand for pumps. We are committed to partnering with our customers, driving operational excellence and providing supply reliability and outstanding quality.” Vincenzo Tomei, new factory project manager, adds “The project spanned a year and half and we are proud to have succeeded in meeting the target completion date. This could not have been accomplished without the collaboration of Marzio Leone, the Italian Maintenance Manager, who played a pivotal role in this challenging project.”

With a total of eight plants in three continents, Poclain’s investment in the Spilamberto facilities gives the group additional flexibility and resources to cater to the wide array of needs in hydraulic transmissions.
