Vigel Electro Mobility: embracing innovation for great opportunities
Transformations in mechanical engineering are moving toward the digitization and electrification of the car resulting in the transformation of traditional components to adapt to the new requirements of electric vehicles and the introduction of new components. Electromobility requires great efforts to adapt to change, but it also generates great opportunities.
With 75 years of history, VIGEL has established itself as one of the most highly regarded manufacturers of advanced manufacturing technologies. The company's philosophy of focusing on innovation and a global approach to the market has driven it to adapt to change and seize the exciting opportunities arising from electromobility.
Made in Italy excellence conquers America. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, VIGEL was selected by an automotive producer's leader in electrical vehicles to provide state-of-the-art machining centers for the production of a particular component of their new cars. The project consists of the machining of a structural component intended to drastically reduce the number of structural parts of the electric car, from 70 to 1 only. An innovative product, capable of solving numerous problems related to the peculiarities of the company's production needs. A prestigious project that also saw the important contribution of VIGEL in the development stages of the production process of the component in question. Today, five years later, VIGEL is present with this product in all production plants of all the main car-makers in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
VIGEL is a company that is extremely responsive to the impulses and challenges that the market poses to it. This project underscores, once again, the company's commitment to shaping the future of technology and playing a vital role in the global manufacturing landscape. Innovating also means being fast, because competitive advantages have an increasingly tight timeframe to be seized.
