AUTUMN 1997

Roberto StolaIn the autumn of 1997, Stola s.p.a. founded the company Stola do Brasil with a production site located in Belo Horizonte.
This was in the same region ,Minas Gerais, where F.I.A.S.A., acronym for Fiat Automoveis S.A., had been located for many years. Stola do Brasil was proposed as an out sourcing factory dedicated to the Fiat Palio world car, specifically to the areas of sheet metal molding, sub assemblies and above all in the construction of raw bodies, to be delivered just in time, to the nearby F.I.A.S.A. site at Betim.
For the Stola family, this South American experience, lasting over six and a half years, was without any doubt the most complex undertaking in terms of human energy, technical intelligence and financial commitment.
Millions of sheet metal parts were stamped, as many subgroups welded and about 300,000 raw bodies constructed.
A 100,000-square-meter factory staffed by a workforce of 1,200 people divided into three shifts illustrate the investment of 2001 and tell of an industrial vision created out of the stubborn will of Roberto Stola.
