CNH Industrial is about to acquire excavator manufacturer Sampierana SpA, a privately-owned Italian company that specializes in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of earthmoving machines, undercarriages and spare parts. CNH will immediately purchase 90 percent of the company and will control entirely the brand by four years. This is a very significant news for the future plans and strategies of CNH Industrial, which is about to enhance its offering in the construction segment, gaining greater in-house capabilities, control over the value chain and market share opportunities.
