Saldatrici, una produzione specifica Fiat (Cinefiat, 1972)

The Fiat name is historically associated with the production of automobiles and industrial vehicles, but its activities extend to a wide range of sectors: trains, tractors, gas turbines, and aircraft and marine engines. A lesser-known, yet highly technologically significant, aspect concerns the production of automatic transfer and numerically controlled machine tools, as well as a wide range of workshop equipment. This constantly evolving sector is an expression of the company's commitment to research and industrial innovation. The documentary takes the viewer inside this production sector, located in the Grugliasco plant near Turin, with a fast-paced rhythm supported by a dynamic soundtrack that highlights the efficiency and modernity of the manufacturing processes. The documentary also mentions production in Togliattigrad, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union). Preserved and digitized by CSC-Archivio Nazionale Cinema Impresa.
