HAUS ITALY PRODUCTION PLANT

HAUS Begins Production in Gioia del Colle, Italy: Where the Necklace Was Lost

Gioia del Colle: A Historic Town with a Unique Story

During the Middle Ages, a noblewoman of the Byzantine dynasty named Joha lost her most beautiful necklace, adorned with precious stones. When the necklace was found, she was so delighted that she named the hill where it was discovered “Gioia del Colle”, a name associated with the meaning “joyful hill”.

Over time, this beautiful town in southern Italy, located in the heel of the Italian peninsula and renowned for its olive oil and mozzarella cheese, developed around its historic castle.

Another interesting detail about Gioia del Colle is its connection to Hollywood: the father of famous actor Sylvester Stallone was born in the town before emigrating to the United States.

HAUS Expands Its Operations in Italy with Local Production

Headquartered in Aydın, Türkiye, HAUS Machinery has maintained a presence in Italy for many years through its service and maintenance facilities near Alberobello, a town famous for its distinctive pointed stone roofs.

These facilities, consisting of several buildings situated on a large property, have supported HAUS customers in Italy through maintenance, technical service and after-sales operations.

HAUS has now taken another significant step in its international development by launching machinery and equipment production in Gioia del Colle, Italy.

First HAUS Machines Produced Under the Made in Italy Label

The first HAUS machinery and equipment carrying the prestigious “Made in Italy” label have already been manufactured at the new production facility.

Giovanni Mastrangelo, Mayor of Gioia del Colle, visited the facility to inspect the first four machines produced and congratulated the factory management on this important milestone.

This development marks a new phase in HAUS's Italian operations, expanding its activities beyond service, maintenance and technical support to include local machinery manufacturing.

Strengthening HAUS's Global Manufacturing and Service Network

HAUS Centrifuge Technologies employs approximately 750 people worldwide, supporting its international operations across multiple markets.

In addition to its companies in the Netherlands, Malaysia, India, Tunisia and Morocco, HAUS is strengthening its presence in Italy through an expanded operational structure that now includes manufacturing, service, maintenance and technical support.

By integrating local production into its multinational business operations, HAUS continues to adapt to the evolving global economic environment while expanding its international manufacturing capabilities and export activities.

A Strategic Step in the Heart of the Olive Oil Industry

Italy is one of the world's leading olive oil production markets, making it a strategically important location for HAUS and its process technologies.

The launch of production in Gioia del Colle strengthens HAUS's position in this key market and supports its ability to provide customers with closer access to machinery manufacturing, technical expertise and after-sales services.

Through its growing international presence, HAUS Centrifuge Technologies continues to bring its engineering expertise and industrial processing solutions to customers worldwide.

HAUS Expands Manufacturing and Service Operations in Italy Through the Made in Italy Project

The Beginning of the HAUS Made in Italy Project

In 2020, the Board of Directors of HAUS Makina Sanayi appointed a team of highly qualified industry professionals to plan and develop the “HAUS Made in Italy” project.

Preparations for the project began in November 2020 and were successfully completed in early June 2021.

In June 2021, HAUS obtained official authorization to use the “Made in Italy” designation, marking an important milestone in the company's manufacturing activities in Italy.

First Made in Italy Production and International Exports

In accordance with the planned development program, the first Made in Italy manufacturing operation was successfully completed in October 2021.

As part of this operation, HAUS manufactured and exported a total of eight centrifuges for seawater desalination applications in Saudi Arabia.

The shipment included four DDE 5342 centrifuges and four DDE 4042 centrifuges, designed for applications in the seawater desalination industry.

In addition, four DDE 3542 centrifuges were exported to the Municipality of Mosul, Iraq.

Market Growth in the Oil Sector

Following two years of investment in the oil sector, HAUS achieved a market share exceeding 9% in 2021.

This achievement represented an important step in strengthening the company's presence in the sector and expanding its industrial processing activities.

Complete Olive Oil Processing Plants and Equipment Solutions

HAUS successfully carried out the sale and installation of complete olive oil processing plants and machinery at new facilities as well as existing production sites previously equipped with competitors' systems.

Even when orders were received late, HAUS ensured that equipment and installations were delivered before the beginning of the olive oil production season.

These activities strengthened HAUS's ability to provide complete olive oil production solutions while meeting the operational requirements and seasonal deadlines of customers in Italy.

Expanding the Technical Service Network Across Italy

To provide customers with reliable and accessible technical support, HAUS established a technical assistance and service network across several regions of Italy.

The network covers Sicily, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata, Campania and Abruzzo, supporting the company's machinery installations and after-sales service activities.

Additional external support resources have continued to strengthen HAUS's local workforce and technical service capabilities throughout the region.

New Opportunities in Industrial Separation, Dairy and Food Processing

Beyond olive oil processing, HAUS Italia has also expanded its activities into industrial separation technologies, dairy processing and food processing applications.

For 2022, the company developed a significant project portfolio in these sectors, reflecting its efforts to diversify its activities and strengthen its position in the Italian industrial market.
