CASE Construction Equipment is set to enhance its product offering, as CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) announced the execution of an agreement to immediately purchase 90% of the capital stock of Sampierana SpA, a privately-owned Italian company that specializes in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of earthmoving machines, undercarriages and spare parts, and to obtain 100% control of the company over four years following closing of the transaction.
Recognized in the construction sector for its line of Eurocomach mini and midi excavators and special undercarriages, Sampierana Group has recorded excellent performance year-over-year, particularly in Europe, and is acknowledged for its reliability, quality and innovative technology.
