Italdesign headquarters

Italdesign has established its U.S. headquarters in Bloomfield Township. The design and engineering company and brand is based in Moncalieri, Italy. The company is best known for its automobile design work—also offering project management, styling, packaging, engineering, modeling, prototyping and testing services. Italdesign has over 1,000 employees worldwide and the expansion to the U.S. brings 24 high-paying jobs to the state of Michigan and over $20 million in private investment to the local economy. The company chose Michigan over competing sites in Ohio and California as part of its focus on advanced automotive design and engineering. “The United States play a key role in our global strategy: partnering with major automotive players providing the widest range of services today available on the market,” said Antonio Casu, Italdesign Global CEO. “From Styling and Engineering to prototyping, testing & validation, and complete vehicle development…who else could provide such a range of services? With almost six decades of expertise in the automotive industry, we are the right partner to support U.S. customers with innovative solutions and proven excellence. We are ready to make a difference.” Fabrizio Mina, Italdesign USA CEO, said that having an operational headquarters in Michigan is essential to effectively support American customers. “This local presence allows us to respond promptly to their needs, and to provide a personalized and high-quality service to the large industry or startups wishing to enter the automotive sector,” said Mina. Italdesign’s U.S. headquarters is located at 6785 Telegraph Road, Suite 450, Bloomfield Township.
