New Husqvarna Factory Building

Photos of the new Husqvarna factory building in Cassinetta Di Biandronno. Although it still looks like a lot of work needs to be done the guys at the factory are confident they will be moving in soon. An expensive project for BMW (rumoured €30m!) the new building will house the R&D facility also which has temperature and humidity controlled testing cells as well as extensive office facilities.









And the original computer generated impression showing how the showroom will be visible from the street:

Wow...very nice! What, no testing track outside?

Is the guy standing outside talking on a phone or having a smoke? If it is like most Europeans I have met it will be the latter....

Silly, that's a computer-generated model of Scot Harden taking a break from a meeting to call Coffee and tell him he's got everything under control and to tell the CafeHusky pessimists to put a compress on our bleeding hearts.

Good Answer. Good Answer.

Thanks dave,

It looks like they made a lot of progress.

And I can confirm it too! Hey guys, I know it's been quite A LONG time I haven't been here but things are kinda BUSY in Italy! Yep, I' m still alive and I'm still part of the Husky family (where else I could be!!)

I actually logged in today as I wanted to show you a bit of what's going on here with the new building, but I see my good friend Dave has arrived first! So here's our new home, which will probably be ready in summer and finally we will be all together under one roof!

Ofcourse if any of you will be in the Varese area in the future you are more than welcome to come and visit us, I'll be happy to guide you around @ our place

you all take care!

I'm fine thanks Roberto, how about u! Are u planning to come over to EICMA again this year? I'll wait for you at our booth for some drinking and chatting!

Fede,
Welcome back to the forum! Try and keep us posted on the completion of the new building(if you have time,of course). Looking forward to my trip to Italy in the near future...putting it on hold to make sure Husky has everything finished and are able to "show the place off" without a crazy American getting in the way of work.Just kidding....
Have a good day

The artist who did the computer drawing needs a talking to.
I can understand the black bike (610 Motards) but where did he come up with the orange bikes in the Husky HQ?
