The MAPAL Group has acquired X-Pro S.r.l., an Italian specialist for turnkey projects and fixtures. “X-Pro fits perfectly into the MAPAL Group,” emphasises Dr Jochen Kress, President of the MAPAL Group. “We are a recognised specialist in the development of complete projects, with the focus so far being on our excellent cooperation with machine tool builders and on large-scale projects for the automotive industry.” With the expertise and know-how of X-Pro, MAPAL is creating additional capabilities to be able to offer projects quickly and comprehensively to customers in other focus industries as well. The company is thus meeting a global demand from potential customers who want to completely outsource the design of machining processes to a reliable technology partner.
MAPAL has been working successfully with X-Pro on the Italian market for several years. Claudio Gabos, Chief Sales Officer of the MAPAL Group: “We are convinced that the acquisition of X-Pro will enable us to tap additional market potential even in these challenging times and generate momentum for further development.”
X-Pro S.r.l. was founded in 2001 in Bologna, Italy, and employs around 35 people. Stefano Vitali continues in his role as managing director and remains in charge of the organisation.
