SOMEL will be in MIDEST: the sole international show to specialize in industrial subcontracting. Conceived both as a network and a catalyst for industry, it makes it possible to initiate, consolidate and develop opportunities of all kinds for collaboration between those involved in the design and production of made-to-measure parts or sub-assemblies.

The show plays a decisive role in establishing relationships between customers and subcontractors, offering them an event that is both human in scale and friendly in atmosphere where they can evaluate and refine their panel of subcontractors, identify the right partners, forge the contacts that will be crucial to the success of their projects, gather information and discuss key industry topics and discover and gain an understanding of trends in technology and innovations.ù

First of all, Brazil needs to invest heavily in modernization of the own industrial technology, to switch from the second to the third technological evolution period, to replace traditional systems with numerically controlled machine tools, used independently until now.
– Alfredo Ferrari, mechanical engineer and vice-president of ABIMAQ –

With a gross domestic product around 2.3 trillion, Brazil is the seventh world economy, and it is the fifth most populated country. Despite an understandable stalemate in its economic development after the boom in the first decade of the new century, it represents a huge market capable of attracting investors from all over the world.

The FEIMEC International Machinery and Equipment Exhibition, which will take place in São Paulo on May 3-7 2016, is a unique opportunity at a crucial time for the Brazilian growth prospects. All the major manufacturers will attend it to bring together supply and demand, to show new automation technologies and to promote that decisive shift in the production system towards a further technological evolution of industrial production systems. An evolution, which could give new impetus to a country — and to a whole continent — with an enormous economic potential still to be developed.

Then, if the Brazilian future passes also through FEIMEC, Simpro, which has a special relationship with future and with Brazil, cannot miss it. To show once again its capacity to innovate, the infinite care for the customer’s productive needs and its usual reliability.

See you at stand C158, where you can examine our products and our working methods, as the result of a thirty-year experience in manufacturing production systems for the automotive and railway industry.

Thirty years have passed since Giulio Bianchini founded the company SIMPRO (Sistemi Macchine Produzione).

In those years, FIAT manufactured well-known car models such as Panda (first version), Uno and Tipo. And Simpro was always in the front line, among the major suppliers of the Turin car manufacturer, with a view to providing technologic tools suitable for industrial production. Waxing, BIW and engine testing systems are the core business in which Simpro succeeded in the national and international scene.

The 90’s witnessed Simpro’s gradual expansion. In those years, they got the first jobs for the most important car manufacturers worldwide, and Simpro do Brasil, the new plant that paved the way to the South American market, was founded. Always in those times, Simpro was awarded with important quality certifications, the internal engineering department was opened (currently the predominant section of the company), and Somel, a company from Levone Canavese, was taken over.

In short, that was a crucial decade, very satisfying and difficult, that led Simpro to be successful in the world scene as a leading company in the industrial automation for the automotive field.

The next decade witnessed the transfer of Simpro’s own expertise, accrued from the engine testing systems, from the car field to the railway sector. In fact, Simpro erected, from the initial architectonic design to the manufacturing of every test stand down to its last detail, the Centre for Experimental Dynamics in Osmannoro, Florence: a colossal project for a cutting-edge plant, of the greatest importance for the Italian research in the railway sector, unique in Europe, which involved the University of Pisa, Florence and Naples.

But we don’t stop here. Simpro’s philosophy, aimed to reinvest the profits to keep growing and creating new jobs, leads the company to found Simpro India, as well as to form business partnerships in China and in the United States.

After 30 years, the expansion process appears not to stop at all, and the future projects are more ambitious than ever: a new company site is being erected. A brand new building that will enable those guys who started up a business in a small warehouse of the Turin suburbs thirty years ago, to keep innovating, modernizing and cherishing the dream of an ever-growing sustainable industry.

To bring honour to this thirty-year activity, Simpro has decided to consolidate its brand through those tools now indispensable for a simple, quick and effective global communication. The new website has already been operational for a couple of months together with the new Web page of the subsidiary company Somel. In addition to this, Simpro intends to strengthen its presence on the social networks: this will enable customers, suppliers and those who may be interested, to keep constantly connected and abreast of the Simpro world.

Simpro web site is renewed. New graphics and a simplified navigation experience to give a more immediate and engaging first access to the Simpro world. The new website offer itself as a more interactive and accesible tool, to tell a story about a continuous growth, technological innovations, and collaborations with the most important automotive producers.

Website is renewed also about the contents, giving Product displaying more space and visibility. Moreover, a mordenized News section will allow to clients, suppliers, and anyone want to approach to Simpro worldwide, stay updated about our activities and projects.

Our intention is to continue innovation, in all respects, to keep up with technological and professional standards, if not even for dictate timing and ways, in order to offer clients skillfully made for best performances and maximum satisfaction.
