Manufacturing
A glorious collaboration
of man and machine
WhileMaserati Headquarters andmanufacturing have long been based inModena, Italy, production
of the Ghibli is located 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.
