The new hub will accommodate research and development, production, logistics, assembly, service and office functions, in the heart of Italy\u2019s Motor Valley and in a strategic position along the A14 motorway corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a total project value of approximately <strong>\u20ac20 million<\/strong>, the development involved the construction of a new building with an overall surface area of around <strong>13,000 sqm<\/strong>. The complex is organized into two functional volumes: the production area, arranged on a single level with technical areas and support mezzanines, and the office area, distributed over three above-ground levels around the central triple-height hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The construction of the building was entrusted to the <strong>PRaCT Business Network<\/strong> \u2014 composed of <strong>Truzzi S.p.A., Proteo Engineering S.r.l., R.G.M.

In addition to giving the building a strong identity, the system contributes to solar shading, combining the architectural quality of the envelope with the building\u2019s energy performance.

The schedule was managed as a dynamic control tool and was subject to multiple revisions in order to ensure compliance with contractual deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result was achieved through the continuous involvement of all stakeholders throughout the different stages of the process, with the aim of integrating the client\u2019s requirements, the requests of the Works Supervision and the contractors\u2019 operational activities. This approach represents one of the core principles of project management within an <strong>EPCM<\/strong> framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/new.bestmind.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SEW-NewCenter_PressRelease-2.pdf\">Download the press release<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The works for the SEW-EURODRIVE New Drive Technology Center - a leading German multinational company in industrial automation systems - in Borgo Panigale, in the Municipality of Bologna, are nearing completion.
