CREMONA, ITALY — In order to meet increasing demand, Ocrim is expanding its production capacity with acquisition of a 20,000-square-foot facility in Via Milano, on the outskirts of the city and 300 meters from the company's headquarters in Via Massarotti, Italy.

The area is currently not being used but once belonged to Cremona, Italy-based company, Officine Meccaniche Umberto Piacenza, famous for the design and construction of lorry trailers, from 1920 until the 2000s.

The architectural structure of the existing production area will be maintained, and work will be carried out to consolidate, completely renovate, upgrade and reclaim the area to accommodate part of Ocrim's production. Work will begin in early 2024 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

This significant commitment marks a further step in Ocrim's path of growth, with the continued support and trust of customers around the world, the company said.
