December 5, 2024 by Maserati

Following Visit to Auburn Hills, the First Italian Stop on the Tour was the Historic Maserati Headquarters in Modena

John Elkann, Chairman of Stellantis, visited Maserati colleagues at the Brand's historic headquarters in Modena, Italy. As announced in the video message sent to Stellantis people on Monday evening, the Chairman is visiting various Group sites and plants all around the world.

Having recently returned from Auburn Hills in the United States, Elkann immediately traveled to the Viale Ciro Menotti plant, where he met Santo Ficili, CEO of Maserati, the entire leadership team of the House of the Trident, the recently established Engineering team, and all colleagues.

With 110 years of iconic history, Maserati has made its home in Modena, the headquarters and beating heart of all the main activities of Stellantis' only luxury brand. An iconic Brand focused on performance, innovation, design, quality, and technology, Maserati is now continuing to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, following an ambitious strategy in line with its customers' expectations.

All models currently in production and those of the future are and will be 100% designed, developed, and produced in Italy, at the Mirafiori plant in Turin, at Cassino and – especially – in Modena, the flagship for the production of Maserati super sports cars, including the MC20 coupe, the MC20 Cielo convertible, and the brand-new GT2 Stradale.

To emphasize the constant push for innovation, at Viale Ciro Menotti the company's Leadership team works in close contact with a new group made up of roughly 130 experts including engineers and technicians, who work exclusively on the development of the current range and future models, in close collaboration with the Engine Lab, to help to steer the brand toward a higher positioning in the luxury segment.

John Elkann, Chairman of Stellantis, commented: 'Our industry is going through hard times. Together, we have faced many challenges in the past and have already turned them into opportunities for the benefit of everyone who works with us, both in-house and externally: colleagues, dealers, customers, and suppliers, as well as institutions. I firmly believe that in these situations it is necessary to remain united, and I therefore decided to be there for our people and to visit Maserati's historic headquarters in Modena today. I would personally like to thank all the colleagues whose work, passion, and energy will continue to achieve great results for Maserati.'

Santo Ficili, Maserati CEO: 'I'm delighted to welcome John Elkann to Modena, to meet the people who make this extraordinary brand not only the longest-lived in the Motor Valley, but also the standard-bearer of a unique vision of Italian luxury across the world. We have recently celebrated our centenary; we have a unique past and are looking ahead to the future with renewed energy.'
