Fiat Cassino Plant

The Cassino Assembly Plant is a FCA Group plant located in the town of Piedimonte San Germano, three kilometres from Cassino, in the province of Frosinone, Italy. It was built in 1972 and expanded over the years. Today, it has total surface area of two million square metres, of which 400 thousand covered.

Over seven million Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo cars have rolled out over time. Models include the Fiat Tipo, Fiat Bravo/Brava, Fiat Tempra, Fiat Croma, Fiat Stilo, Lancia Delta, Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Alfa Romeo Giulia.

A big plant was built in 1972 near Cassino to build a little car: the Fiat 126. It would be a successful, long-living model and production will be discontinued only in 2000. The 126 would also be the last Fiat to fit a rear engine. Production continued next to a new Fiat model, the 131, which was introduced in 1974 and would be discontinued in 1983.

Production of the Fiat Ritmo, the new Italian mid-size car, was kicked off six years after the plant was opened. It was 1978, the year when Comau Robogate systems were installed in the Fiat Rivalta plant and in Cassino. This highly automated system was designed to facilitate and speed up the tasks of workers in the Body Shop. The plant was now operating at full capacity. Production of a new car – the Fiat Regata – started in 1983.
