++ news: a new Italo/German understanding ++

The Defranceschi Group buys out the wine BU of Amos GmbH.

The Defranceschi group has recently bought out the wine BU of AMOS G.m.b.H. in Heilbronn, a well-known German company recognized world-wide as a leading manufacturer of wine-making and fruit processing machinery. 
With the addition of the Amos trademark in the wine business, the Defranceschi group is now able to meet the needs of the entire wine-making industry with its own products right from the start - from grape receiving to crushing-destalking, pressing, fermentation, temperature control and storage. 

Design and production of AMOS-brand wine-equipment has been transferred from Heilbronn to Defranceschi Deutschland G.m.b.H.in Mannheim. The synergy between Defranceschi's and the now acquired technology will allow even more improvements to be made in terms of quality and functionality, rationalization of production of all the machines offered in the catalogue as well as development of innovative and technologically advanced machines

This new venture was officially presented May 2004 in Stuttgart during the most important German International technology trade fair for wine, fruit and fruit juice INTERVITIS INTERFRUCTA. The first-time presence of AMOS brand-machines at the splendid Defranceschi stand drew a large number of visitors and great public interest, marking the success of this initiative, destined to wed world-renown German quality with world-famous Italian design.
