Automobili Lamborghini has opened its new interiors and upholstery facility at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in Italy. The Selleria as Lambo calls it – meaning ‘saddlery’ – is the heart of the brand’s craftsmanship and has been completely renewed and expanded as part of a broader modernization of the production line that now builds the Revuelto alongside the new Temerario.
The redesigned facility covers 2,600m², up from 1,400m², and incorporates new technologies and improved workstation ergonomics to boost efficiency and maintain high quality standards. The number of machines has doubled and production flows have been optimized to meet the Temerario’s increased volumes and deliver expanded personalization options.
For the first time, an automatic leather gluing system has been introduced, which adjusts the amount of adhesive to the material’s volume, helping to reduce both waste and emissions.
The Selleria is home to 170 artisans who handcraft the interior of each Lamborghini, using materials such as leather in a wide range of colors and microfiber.
Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, stated, “Our growth through investment and development continues. The latest developments at our Sant’Agata Bolognese plant reflect our commitment to a transformation that has led us to a fully hybrid range. This is an important stage in a journey defined by strategic vision, with people and technology remaining as two equally central and decisive factors.”
At the same time, Automobili Lamborghini continues to invest in training and personnel development, offering team members opportunities to acquire specialist skills in different materials and techniques.
At the Sant’Agata Bolognese plant, the super sports car production line has been completely updated to build the new hybrid V8 bi-turbo Temerario alongside the Revuelto, Lamborghini’s first EV.
Ranieri Niccoli, chief manufacturing officer of Automobili Lamborghini, said, “The expansion of the production line and the Selleria department represents a fundamental step in the evolution of our Manifattura Lamborghini. We have doubled production capacity, introduced new machinery and improved workflow to ensure optimum efficiencies and quality. This transformation stems from the need to accommodate the new hybrid generation and respond to the strong demand from our customers, confirming our commitment to innovating while maintaining the artisanal excellence that defines us.”
