Internationalization and diversification

At the end of the Nineties, the growth of the South American markets led to the realization of its first foreign plant in Argentina (TANDIL-Buenos Aires). Two years later, the production activities in Brazil (SUMARE ' – São Paulo) began. Following a policy of product differentiation, in 2005 SATA acquired the Castelnuovo Valsugana plant (Trento).

The process of internationalization, which began during the previous decade, led SATA to export its ambitions and know-how towards new markets., with a Chinese plant (KUNSHAN -Shanghai) in 2006, an Indian plant (PAWAL- New Delhi) in 2007, a joint – venture with Vikas group, and in 2016, the plant establishment in the USA.

During its evolution, SATA group, in addition to the machining operation, has invested and actively participated in the management of related companies.
