Subsidiary of Fiat , Maserati makes sports cars such as the 3200 GT and the Assetto Corsa
Maserati is part of Ferrari. The first Ferrari was built in Modena in 1949 by the company set up by Enzo Ferrari five years earlier. In
1969 Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of the stock to the Fiat Group, a share that rose to 90% in 1988. In 1997 Ferrari acquired 50% of Maserati and in 1999 took over full control of the company.
In 2002 Mediobanca, as part of a consortium set up for the acquisition and placement of the Ferrari shares, acquired a 34% interest in the Company's capital stock. This interest was then
divided among Commerzbank, Lehman Brothers, B.P. Emilia Romagna, Compagnie Monegasque de Banque.
Workforce totals 2,968 people including 2,825 in Italy, 48 in the rest of Europe and 95 in the rest of the world.
Maserati has been based at the historic factory on Viale Ciro Menotti
in Modena since 1940.
The original redbrick factory buildings, built in line with the dictates of industrial revolution architecture, remain the heart of a now much
modified industrial complex which extends over a total of 43,349 square metres. At the moment, 26,000 square metres of this is covered, and now that further building work is complete, factory and
office space has increased to over 32,000 square metres.
Facing the immaculate, timeless redbrick factory walls, Maserati has built a large office block which houses management's offices and a
showroom. The north side of the complex is occupied by a large multi-storey employee car park, while the interior of the factory premises has been completely redesigned. In fact, the production
lines have been completely renovated to guarantee maximum quality and production standards. There are now three in all: two for the Coupé and Spyder, and a more recently built third assembly line for
the new Quattroporte saloon.
Modernity is again the by-word in the building housing the test benches, where the engines are run in and tested, and the quality
control area where the cars are subjected to rigorous controls by the Finishing Department before being delivered to Maserati's worldwide sales network.
