Italdesign celebrates its 50th anniversary


Today, #italdesign officially launches the year celebrating the fiftieth #anniversary since its foundation. The brainchild of Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani was formed in Turin in 1968 as a #design, Engineering and Prototyping service company for the #automotive world. During this half-century #italdesign has always been one step ahead of market changes and has continued to invest in R&D, technologies, infrastructures and, above all, in people, maintaining its role as a major player in the mobility world.
“We are proud of what we have achieved in these fifty years,” stated CEO Jörg Astalosch. “Italdesign has always stood out for its ability to dare, to be ahead of its time and anticipate the industry’s needs, working daily to raise the bar of quality standards. If we look at the many prototypes we are proud to have at our Moncalieri headquarters which were inspirational for many successful projects for our customers, this attitude for innovation — never an end in itself — is evident even after many decades”.
“Today, we are ready to start the next fifty years with the same mind-set, and with the experience and skills acquired, very motivated and full of energy and ideas. We would like to thank especially our distinguished clients around the world for working with us in the last 50 years, pushing together for the best solutions. We also thank our employees, totally dedicated with their passion and skills to our clients.
“We will celebrate that new start into the next 5 decades throughout the year honouring our employees, networking with existing and new stakeholders worldwide and especially working on most fascinating projects for our customers. It is no coincidence that the logo addition we have presented today, and which will accompany us throughout this year, announces Next 50.”
“In the last 50 years #italdesign has featured many technological milestones and was also responsible for famous #design masterpieces” – stated President of #italdesign Dr. Bernd Martens. “Since it became part of our Audi Group in 2010, #italdesign has broadened its skills and competences. It has become a real turnkey-project service provider for us as well.
A year ago, #italdesign started a new chapter as a car producer. With its new Automobili Speciali brand, it now produces ultra-limited editions for selected collectors and other OEMs.
