Beijing. China’s giant CRRC, the largest manufacturer in the world of rolling stock through CRRC Tangshan (holding company) lands in Piedmont with CMC infrastructure manufacturer, and the Italian headquarters of the multinational company in the technology sector, Genertec. Together, with 60%, 15%, and 5% respectively – they have acquired 80% of Blue Engineering, a company in Rivoli that specialises in the design and engineering for all types of vehicles in the railway sector. The presence of Blue Engineering’s affiliations placed in the context of a strong and varied chain, have convinced China’s and the world’s three leading companies to settle in Piedmont through the acquisition which brings with it a large development project. This is a starting point for CRRC whose goal is to develop a technological centre for mobility in Piedmont in the railway, automobile, and aerospace sector. Recognising Blue Engineering’s expertise and capabilities in these sectors, the Chinese company intends to fuel diversification by identifying additional partners in China and Italy. (9Colonne)
