Effective December 1, 2025, Dürr brings together two Italian subsidiaries by merging Olpidürr S.p.A. and CPM S.p.A and renaming the resulting company Dürr Systems Italy S.p.A. Operating from two locations – Milan and Turin – the company will employ about 120 people led by CEO Andreas Hohmann. The merger combines decades of experience in turnkey final assembly systems with advanced painting process and pretreatment technologies mainly for vehicle production. “The new company name marks a reinforcement of Dürr’s presence and identity in Italy,’’ says Andreas Hohmann. “The merger strengthens our alignment with Dürr’s global strategy and ensures continuity and added value for all our customers.”
A unified portfolio for enhanced customer value
The merger will not affect existing contract terms or services. On the contrary, customers will benefit from a broader service portfolio, innovative and sustainable solutions, and the convenience of a single point of contact for all production needs. Dürr Systems Italy will provide a unified portfolio including consulting, planning, and implementation of assembly processes, along with painting technology, pretreatment and electrocoating systems. Dürr’s high-performance technologies like the automated guided vehicles (AGVs) ProFleet are used at car manufacturers worldwide, enabling flexible, cost-effective manufacturing tailored to individual industrial requirements.
The streamlined structure simplifies project coordination, reduces administrative complexity, and ensures continuity in customer relationships and service quality. Customers can count on long-term support through preventive maintenance, technical assistance, and plant modernization. “We can offer our customers in the automotive and industry sectors a unique combination of expertise, comprehensive manufacturing solutions and reliability throughout the entire production cycle,” Hohmann summarizes.
Dürr also operates another subsidiary in Italy: Verind S.p.A., based in Milan, manages robotic and application technologies. The company will continue to operate as an independent entity and brand within the Dürr Group. Verind specializes in the production of industrial systems for application, ultrafiltration and waste water treatment for customers in automotive and general industry. In addition, Verind is Dürr’s Center of Excellence for electronic dosing machines. The company offers expertise, engineering, laboratories, and technologies dedicated to the application of painting and coating products, e.g. on metal, aluminum wheels, plastic, wood, ceramic, marble, composite and glass.
