Martinelli Group to open branch in the United States

As part of its focus on the United States, Martinelli Group has announced the start-up of Martinelli Ettore USA Inc. in the city of Lebanon, Tennessee.

The new business unit, which will be officially opened late this year or in early 2016, is strategically located close to local tile producers and to major transport routes. It will provide support to local companies including mould and punch reconditioning services. While optimising logistics costs and timeframes, these services will guarantee Italian-made products as the new moulds and punches will continue to be supplied directly by the Italian parent company.

Martinelli Group, founded in 1953 in Fiorano Modenese (the headquarters is now in Sassuolo), operates in the ceramic mould and machinery sector with the companies Martinelli Ettore, Emar-Imes and Emar Impianti in Italy and Zao Martinelli Ettore in Russia.
