Modena has a thriving industrial life,
in which mechanical engineering plays a dominant role. It is
the home of New Holland (FIAT group), Italy's largest tractor
factory which exports its output all over the world, where with
the exception of China and Eastern Europe, one in five tractors
is a New Holland. A few data give an idea of the dynamism of
mechanical engineering in Modena: a tractor consists of about
4000 pieces, but only just over 10% of these are actually produced
by Fiat. The remainder come from Modena's factories, varying
in size from the small workshop to the medium-sized industrial
concern, which share the orders placed by the Turin group.
