IMI Remosa has unveiled a new 16,000m2 factory in Sardinia as part of its ongoing mission to bolster its manufacturing capabilities and accelerate the transition to greener industrial energy sources.

The new facility, which is one-third larger than its predecessor, was officially opened on 18 October at an event attended by IMI CEO Roy Twite and Jackie Hu, Managing Director of IMI (IMI).

The 45,000m² site, which employs over 200 people, will manufacture valves and hydraulic actuating systems for critical applications in petrochemical industries, alongside new green energy products, such as its new IMI VIVO Electrolyser. It is a fundamental element of IMI’s strategy to enhance its core manufacturing capability and improve accessibility to sustainable solutions for industry.

“The opening of this new factory marks a significant step in our journey to transform the business of IMI as we move into more sustainable markets,” says Mr. Hu. “We have long been a specialist in the design and manufacture of bespoke valves and actuators for critical applications, and we are using this expertise to help our customers to navigate their own energy transition journey.

“This purpose-built facility will allow us to do so while also minimising our own environmental footprint, in line with our commitment to providing breakthrough engineering for a better world. The factory has been designed to be as efficient as possible, from its use of renewable energy sources to its very layout, which is optimised for material and product flow while enhancing employee safety.”
