The new site of IM GROUP in Florida will strengthen the local production of specific solutions for the North-American market.
The international company IM GROUP, operating in the paints and coatings sector, has recently announced that it will transfer its north-American operational site from New Jersey to Jensen Beach
(Florida), as announced during an event held in collaboration with the Business Development Board of Martin County (BDBMC). As a matter of fact, the new hub will represent the North American headquarters of the company.
“We will manufacture IM GROUP’s latest systems and technology in the United States, in accordance with US standards, aimed specifically at clients in these regions. We have the facilities, the space, and a local team that is supported by IM GROUP’s global network of engineers, technicians and software designers and specialists,” has stated IM GROUP’s new General Manager for the Americas, Mr. Enrico Mattiazzi.
IM GROUP manufactures a wide range of on-demand fully automated dispensing systems and filling lines as well as process-engineering equipment, up to complete turn-key plant projects. The new site has been selected thanks to a well-connected transport infrastructure, with seven deep water seaports, three international airports and twelve commercial airports.
“We are very excited that IM GROUP is coming to Martin County and I am especially pleased that they’ll be basing their North American headquarters in my hometown of Jensen Beach. Congratulations to them and to the BDB team for encouraging such an accomplished organization to bring its headquarters here,” has declared Doug Smith, chair of the Martin County Commission.
“IM GROUP’s story begins in 1987 with formation of Inkmaker Srl, in San Gillio near the industrial city of Turin in Italy, to manufacture ink-mixing-and-dispensing machines. Since then, after acquiring several specialised companies, it evolved into a group, and is today a global technology leader and the parent of seven brands; Inkmaker, Rexson, Vale-tech, Swesa and Teko — which specialise in various types of Dispensing and Tinting, and Tecnopails and IEC+ which specialise in Filling, Mixing and Grinding. IM GROUP’s client database has steadily been growing over the years and this has permitted us to restructure our existing companies and entities to accommodate for expansion, hence our reason for the need to for larger premises in the United States,” has explained Silvio Cimenti, Global Director of Branding, Marketing and Communcation.
“Our new facility here in Martin County, marks a significant juncture for our group. It is a significant investment that elevates these premises to “regional headquarters status” covering, North America, Canada, and Latin America. IM GROUP currently has 3 other regional headquarters; Turin in Italy (the global headquarters), followed by Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia for the Asia Pacific region, and Shanghai in China for Greater China. This site is a strategic market position, between North America and Latin America, both important markets where IM GROUP is aggressively expanding its business. I sincerely thank the BDBMC for working so closely with us in identifying the ideal location,” has concluded Christophe Rizzo, CEO of EMEA and Americas at IM GROUP.
