Eldor in the world

Same values and same culture
for a defect-free company

R&D Centers

The heart of the company is in Italy, at Orsenigo, Lomazzo, Milano, Torino, BolognaTeramo and Pescara. Wherever Eldor operates, all actions are guided by its Pyramid of Values. With these values, the synergy and integration between everyone’s different skillsets is the catalyst for inspired engineering. Moreover,these values provide a harmonious backdrop for making the discoveries that allow the company to create value, both in its products and in its manufacturing and automation processes.

The R&D centers are specialized in research on electronics, mechanics, chemistry, materials science, robotics and automation.
Eldor researchers put their passion and experience into working on developing innovative materials and on designing projects in the fields of mechanics, electro mechanics and electronics.

Work in the R&D centers goes beyond research. The reliability of our products is analyzed thoroughly and rigorously, up to the validation of processes patented within the Group. For this reason, the procedures involve painstaking and repeated controls, consisting of simulations and experimental testing.

To ensure an impeccable process, we also develop and test software and hardware components, which are utilized in our products and in our automated production lines, developed in-house by the Automation department. This complete integration in process-product development means that manufacturing levels and quality are of the highest standard.

Main skills of R&D Centers

Production Plants

Eldor’s five manufacturing plants are in Italy, China, Turkey, Brazil and USA. These plants have always operated under the same principles of value and culture that underpin a flawless, defect-free company, and these factors cancel out the geographic distances.
From beginning, we have always designed and built our production lines in-house, which gives us a true competitive advantage..

This is the outcome of our sound knowledge of robotics and mechatronics.

This complete integration within process-product development means that manufacturing levels and quality are extremely high. We are proud that the awards we have received place us firmly at the top of the Automotive industry.

Italy

Eldor originated in a garage located in Orsenigo near Como, northern Italy, in 1972.
Today, our headquarters are still in Orsenigo. In this innovative building with its futuristic design, working areas are interspaced with social spaces and reception areas.

Production primarily covers ignition systems and ECUs. Our process engineers work very closely with R&D technicians, automation specialists, and  experts from the robotics division, all with a common goal to engage in innovating and optimizing production technology.

Our collaborators have substantial practical experience and up-to-date technological knowledge. These factors, combined with our highly flexible production lines, allow us to undertake mass production of high technology for our Automotive customers.

China

Eldor’s Dalian manufacturing plant makes ignition systems for the Asian Automotive sector. It currently has three production lines where a mix of Made in Italy and excellence in manufacturing come into play.

Turkey

In 1991, Turkey was selected as the springboard for Eldor’s international expansion. One sound reason lies in Turkey’s position as a bridge that ideally links east to west, to create high qualitative value.

After searching for the best location for Eldor’s Turkish premises, the company settled on the region of Izmir. This region offers and maintains a high quality of life and educational services.

From the very beginning, this manufacturing plant was designed to manage the entire production cycle (from moulding plastic components to assembling and testing the finished product).

Today, our Turkish plant can make every type of ignition system developed by Eldor for the European market.

Brazil

The plant in Indaiatuba, Brazil, was the launching pad for Eldor’s expansion into Latin America.
Eldor Brazil currently employs about 230 people and partners with most car manufacturing companies operating in the Brazilian market.

USA

Virginia is particularly business-oriented, with its pro-business laws, Port of Virginia access, logistics and infrastructure. We found top-class universities and a great community college, with programs dedicated to the mechatronics sector that will grow excellent young engineers with the skills necessary to run ELDOR’s advanced automated lines. Finally, the Roanoke Valley is a beautiful region with natural beauty and quality of life.

A major strategic objective is to be successful in the United States.

The first step came in 2014, when Eldor opened a technical and commercial office in the greater Detroit region, where major automotive manufacturers are located in the USA.

We then chose to build our manufacturing plant in Virginia, a business-oriented state facilitating logistics processes via the Port of Virginia and its developed infrastructure. Eldor ultimately established in Roanoke, positioning itself between two distinguished universities, Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia. These two universities have strong synergies with Eldor in the development of solutions for mobility in the future. Here our engineers can discover ideas and intellectual property, as well as new colleagues. Special study programmes in mechatronics prepare excellent well-trained young engineers with the culture and skills perfectly suited to Eldor’s high technology processes.

Sales and technical offices

Our sales & technical offices are instrumental in keeping close to our customers and addressing their needs.

Germany

Eldor’s Sindelfingen office provides specialist sales and technical support to German car manufacturers.

USA

Detroit is the research and development capital for the main USA car manufacturing companies. With its superb technical and commercial support to its American customers, Eldor’s Detroit offices are the first line base for the company’s development plans in the USA. 

China

Eldor’s Shanghai office provides specialist sales and technical support to Chinese OEMs.

South Korea

The new sales and technical office in Incheon represents a further step in Eldor’s international growth, with the purpose to support Korean automakers.

Automation factory

Excellence is a form of art, achieved through practice and routine.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Eldor has been designing and developing production lines in-house in its Automation division since 1976.

The process of constructing these lines consists of five steps:

All the designing takes place within Italy.

All of the production lines designed by Eldor are fully automated. This technology, in combination with Eldor’s organizational model, help the company to achieve defect-free production, with extremely high production and quality levels.
