While Maserati Headquarters and manufacturing have long been based in Modena, Italy,
production of the Quattroporte flagship sedan takes place at a recently opened Maserati plant in
Grugliasco, Italy – outside of Turin. The plant is named after company patriarch Giovanni “Gianni”
Agnelli, honoring Gianni’s strong connection with the Turin area. One billion euros were invested in
renewing this plant, anticipating growing global sales. While the latest technology is utilized to help
with fitting parts, skilled technicians man each station, keeping the assembly a handcrafted affair.
Utilising proven practices developed through the company’s World Class Manufacturing (WCM)
system, the plant has a strong culture dedicated to producing the highest quality cars possible.
Each car is built to order – and with literally millions of combinations of mechanical and interior
specifications possible, a document goes with each car and is signed at each station to ensure that
the exact car is built to the customers’ personal requirements.
