The project
From Concept to Car was devised in 2002 by the Torino Chamber of Commerce, with the main purpose of promoting the skills and capabilities of the Piemonte automotive suppliers abroad and mainly of those companies based in Torino, the hometown of the Italian automotive industry.
From Concept to Car provides foreign buyers with a valuable support in outsourcing activities, as it offers them the opportunity to get in touch with over 150 top-flight suppliers, chosen from 1,400 on the strength of their technical, qualitative and logistic capabilities.
Detailed information about all member companies — together potentially able to manufacture a vehicle from the drawing board (styling, engineering, prototyping) to mass production (tooling, automation, components and systems, assembly, logistic and services) — are available in the section "Complete List".
Purchasing managers wishing to find out more about the Piemonte supply proposals can apply to the From Concept to Car project team, coordinated by the Piemonte Agency for Investments, Export and Tourism. The team will ascertrain their supply needs and arrange one-to-one meetings with the most suitable suppliers, in Piemonte or on their premises.
The team's assistance is completely free-of-charge — both for the Piemonte suppliers and foreign buyers — thanks to public financial backing.
Since 2003, more than 50 international brands have met first-rate suppliers from Piemonte...
