Newnan, Georgia, Release: June 21,2022. Today, Cassioli Groups, the Italian producer of automated systems for material handling and intralogistics solutions, announces its expansion into the U.S. market with the new flagship manufacturing plant opening at Creekside Industrial Park in Newnan, Coweta County, Georgia.

CASSIOLI, a leading European provider of high-performance industrial material handling solutions, recently opened its first production facility in Coweta County, determined to expand its operational footprint in the United States to grow its market share in North America.

Founded in Italy almost 80 years ago, it has grown into a successful multinational firm with four manufacturing plants worldwide (Italy, Poland, Brazil, and the last newly established in Newnan), with sales offices in more than a dozen countries and more than 320 employees worldwide. The real CASSIOLI tradition is an aptitude for innovation and the ongoing search for simple and functional solutions. The clients in this sector require innovative technology with highly complex automation; therefore, they need to choose a partner who can design and create flexible systems using mechanical technology and cutting-edge electronics. Cassioli provides an approach tailored to customer needs, and since the first steps in the industrial automation market, this approach has characterized each Cassioli system’s design and production. In addition, Cassioli Group’s research and development department strive to constantly anticipate tomorrow’s needs by combining innovation and tradition: a combination of success detectable in all the proposed solutions from the customer point of view of functionality and efficiency.

Cassioli systems enable companies to speed up every step of their processes for streamlined procedures and incredible savings in terms of time and costs, from production to assembly, packaging, and storage. Many companies and multinationals have chosen Cassioli as a trusted partner for their automation systems to improve the efficiency of their production and distribution systems.

“The decision to expand our presence into the North America area further, opening the first U.S. production plant in Newnan, was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Marco Cencetti, Cassioli USA President. “One of the major trends in U.S. manufacturing over recent decades has been increased sector productivity. Global competitive pressures have forced companies to become leaner and increase output per worker. Automation is a major factor driving this trend. Since 1987, output per hour for manufacturing workers has increased by more than 2.5 times, a significantly higher rate than the U.S. private sector. The increase has been extreme in durable goods manufacturing, which has almost tripled labor productivity in that time frame. Having a new production plant in the U.S. allows us to expand company capabilities further, consolidate the reliability and solidity of our brand with onsite professional services and customer support departments, and improve the timing and services for current and future North American customers.”

Cassioli offers the most suitable transport or storage systems in terms of operational capacity, costs, safety, and whether it is necessary to transport or handle a finished product, semi-finished product, component kit, or raw material with varying degrees of automation ergonomics. As a Manufacturer, Cassioli can offer complete scalable and highly tailored turn-key systems. Cassioli lines and robotized areas are modular and easy to configure and integrate with automated warehouses, picking bays, conveyors, and automated vehicles to handle and serve finished products and components suitable for various industries.

Since early 2021, we started investigating the new production plant opening in Coweta County due to its favorable position and innovative Businesses-oriented approach,” said Giada Tscholl Cassioli USA Operations Manager. “The facility is currently approximately 20,000 sqft of offices and warehouse, but we look forward to increasing the spaces in the upcoming five years while diversifying and growing our factory capability and productions” “Newnan and the County have been valuable support for the Company relocation and operations set up.

Cassioli has always been deeply involved in the community, working to grow new talents with the local educational centers and Universities and partnering with local institutions. Since the beginning, the involvement and availability of the local institutions have confirmed our initial evaluations of this vibrant community.” “Think globally, act locally” is a Motus that has been promoted and conveyed to all the Cassioli’s entities and local managements over the years. As Cassioli USA, we look forward to carrying over this philosophy, other than almost eight decades of experience, technological know-how, and customer-oriented approach.”

“The Coweta County Development Authority is excited to welcome our newest corporate tenant,” states Coweta County Development Authority Chairman, John Daviston. “This strategic investment will enhance our strong and growing manufacturing industry. We are excited to again welcome and support a multi-national company who chose Coweta County as their first US base location. I feel our county is very fortunate to possess the resources needed to attract and accommodate Cassioli as well as our other domestic and international partners”

“We are excited to welcome Cassioli to Coweta County as they begin their operations in the U.S.,” shares Chairman Bob Blackburn. “Being chosen as their new flagship manufacturing plant speaks to Coweta County’s sound business practice and central location. We look forward to the jobs Cassioli will bring to our community along with the local impact they will make.”

Cassioli USA Corporation is looking to fill open positions for Electrical Technicians and Mechanical Technicians.
