“We made some hard choices to continue manufacturing in Italy”. Fiat chair John Elkann was speaking at the opening ceremony of its Grugliasco plant, the former Bertone factory where a redundancy programme had been in place for eight years.
"A new age is beginning for Maserati, said Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, pledging that “by year’s end there will be full employment at Grugliasco [for the time being, 500 workers are back – Ed.]”. How? Thanks to new models. The Ghibli saloon and the Levante SUV, which could be manufactured at Mirafiori, have been tasked with taking Maserati past the 50,000 units-a-year mark by the end of 2015. According to Fiat sources, these are the numbers required to boost profits, even though they represent a huge leap forward from the 6,400 Maseratis sold in 2012."
