Magnaghi investe 70 milioni in ricerca e digitalizzazione

The Magnaghi Group has made a significant investment of 70 million euros in research and digitalization, as part of the Tasca project. This initiative aims to take the Neapolitan company to the next technological leap towards the intelligent airframe structure. Over the next 36 months, 70 million euros will be spent, and between 40 and 60 new employees will be hired.

Magnaghi, led by Paolo Graziano, will sign a development contract with Invitalia. The project is expected to double the company's revenue by 2030, following a 2025 revenue of 250 million euros. Magnaghi Aeronautica, the oldest company in the group, founded in Naples in 1936 to support Italian Military Air Force flight activities, is one of the few international players capable of designing, certifying, producing, and maintaining complete landing systems independently.

Following the 26-31 investment plan for foreign plants, particularly in Canada, Magnaghi has devised a new industrial development plan. The focus will be on technologies and research & development, particularly at the plants in Naples, Caserta, and Brindisi (with Salver, the same group). A key pillar of the plan is digitalization, which includes the creation of a quantum computing competence center between Naples and Brindisi.

The project, in partnership with American startup IonQ Italia based in Marco Pistoia, has recently signed a collaboration agreement. Pistoia, who graduated from IBM and JP Morgan research centers, is launching a Rome office and will set up a new office at Magnaghi's Naples plant. The aim is to accelerate simulations and tests for the construction and use of quantum computing.

Additionally, the Tasca project emphasizes training at all levels and the establishment of an Academy. A new plant in Gricignano d’Aversa, near Naples, will be inaugurated, equipped with precision mechanics plants for the production of composite carbon components. This material, made of carbon fibers reinforced in a graphite or pure carbon matrix, can withstand extremely high temperatures without losing strength, does not melt, and becomes even more robust as it heats up.
