The Lombardy Region and Alstom share a path that strives for excellence through innovative, modern, and sustainable projects. These values ​​are reflected in increasingly efficient and cutting-edge mobility, thanks to the production of Donizetti regional trains , 61 of which are already in service throughout Lombardy, and the Coradia hydrogen-powered trains for the Brescia-Iseo-Edolo line, for a total investment of over €560 million.

The facility employs over 300 people and annually produces more than 1,500 subsystems —including traction converters and control desks— and over 12,000 repairs and spare parts. Its technological facilities include a 3D polymer printing laboratory for the production of railway components and a control room dedicated to monitoring fleets in commercial operation.
