BOLOGNA:  Automobili Lamborghini is building a paint shop for its first-ever SUV called Urus.

The new building will be completed by the end of 2018, in time for the arrival of the Urus.

The paint plant will span over  10,000 square metres, further expanding the production site, which will extend from the 150,000 sq m, envisaged and reached up by end of 2017, to a total of more than 160,000 sq m of covered area.

The new paint facility will also impact favourably in terms of human resources: approximately 200 new hires will be made by the time the plant reaches full production capacity, adding to 500 jobs created due to the third Lamborghini model.

Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lamborghini, remarked: "We are very pleased with this result, which represents another step on our path of strategic expansion. Thanks to the support and faith of our shareholder AUDI AG, a decision was taken that most effectively safeguards our know-how, job growth in the territory, and brand identity."

The new plant will benefit from the most advanced technological systems with low environmental impact. A staff of highly-skilled workers will guarantee the highest standards of quality on products characterized by a high level of customization.

The confirmation was favoured by a recent organizational agreement made between the company and the union regarding the system of work shifts, aimed at making expansion highly attractive in terms of competitiveness and cost control.
