Piemonte is home to an important aerospace & defence pole, which is mainly concentrated in the area surrounding its capital city, Torino: the five international players (Alenia Aeronautica, Avio Group, Microtecnica, Selex Galileo and Thales Alenia Space) together with a group of 300 SMES total 10.000 employees and register 2.5 Billion € turnover.
 
The Piedmontese technical-productive specialisation, both in manufacturing and technical services, can be applied to the development of aircrafts, motors, propellers, satellites, infrastructures as well as ground and on-board control systems. In addition, applied technology and production processes are compatible with the international technical standards: quality, precision and ability to use specialised materials. In terms of manufacturing, the production chain has vertically developed in all aspects:
 
End producers of complex sub-systems.
Companies supplying parts, components or complete systems which are
incorporated into these sub-systems.
Sub-contractors of specialised work and equipment.
 
The technical industrial services vary from project design to model making, from industrial design to structural calculation, but also include the manufacturing of specialised software and the carrying out of laboratory tests. A unique feature of Piedmontese aerospace & defence companies is the ability to produce parts or carry out specialised works based on buyers' designs and specifications: production of mechanical elements, assembly of electronic circuits, pressed steel, thermal and surface treatments, construction of moulds, tools and equipment and electric cabling.
 
 
 
The last data recorded by the Italian National Institute of Statistics, show that:
