The Italian company SOMIPRESS, which specializes in aluminum die casting, has successfully developed a component for a gearbox part for the Mercedes Benz A-Class model in co-design with the gearbox manufacturer, thus demonstrating its competence in metalworking. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class debuted at the 1997 Geneva Motor Show as one of the most agile and safest compact cars thanks to its innovative sandwich chassis and front-wheel drive.
SOMIPRESS's contribution, even if small, ensured the efficiency and quality of the vehicle and consolidated the position of Mercedes-Benz as a leader in the automotive sector. Thanks to its expertise, SOMIPRESS has developed into a highly qualified supplier for the automotive industry in the following years.
