The new Casa Bianchi

Bianchi has entered a new phase in the company’s history, thanks to the new factory, the result of urban renewal, conducted in collaboration with the City of Treviglio, of the building on Via delle Battaglie in Treviglio, which has housed Bianchi’s headquarters for more than 50 years.

“I am proud of this new factory that best represents the innovative spirit of Bianchi,” said Cavaliere del Lavoro Salvatore Grimaldi. “Despite the challenges the bicycle industry is currently facing, we have one of the most advanced manufacturing plants in the world. The new plant also represents a symbol of resilience. We have invested not only in a factory, but in our new home — this is a sign of the enormous confidence we have in our people, our brand, and our products. The future of Bianchi starts here.”

The new factory, which was completed in 24 months, positions Bianchi among the very first companies in Italy aligned with Industry 5.0 standards, thanks to the use of sustainable, innovative, and cutting-edge solutions that put people at the center.

The new production line boasts a manufacturing capacity of 500 bicycles per shift and was built according to innovative operating logic and productivity processes developed by Bianchi. Each position on the production line has been fully digitized, thus eliminating all material handling steps in favor of greater efficiency.

The new factory also has a green ethos, thanks to a 500 Kw photovoltaic system that provides energy autonomy during the summer period. The indoor temperature is constantly around 23°C, and all plant management functions are automatically controlled.

The project has been keenly focused on the well-being of employees, including an ergonomic evaluation of workstations, a study of work phases with the help of advanced technologies, and the creation of an in-house academy for ongoing staff training.

What’s more, Bianchi’s new showroom — also located on the newly renovated premises — includes its most iconic historical models.

The Domus architectural firm designed the new headquarters. The work was done by Baraclit construction and by Antonelli Impianti, which oversaw the mechanical and electrical systems.
