The new factory, where DESA's production operations are conducted, was established on a 5-decare plot with 1,896 m² of indoor space in Poppi, in the province of Arezzo in the Casentino Valley. Following the completion of the purchase agreement and signing process in February 2023, the recruitment and orientation phase at the DESA Internazionale factory began with a core team of 9 people.
