“As the new era of vehicle manufacturing progresses the challenges remain high,” IDRA General Manager Riccardo Ferrario said. “IDRA Group as an innovator must continue to strive for excellence in a difficult market and stay ahead of our competitors.”
The company also says in the post that IDRA hopes to strategically help push the die-casting industry forward into a new era, strengthening its own positions as the industry leader.
The news comes just a few weeks after IDRA sent one of its 9,000-ton Giga Press die-casting machines to Asia, though the customer on the project is still unknown.
The Travagliato, Italy company has also been sending IDRA Giga Press parts to Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas over the past few months, set to help the company build the upcoming Cybertruck.
