DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A.
DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A. is an Italian joint-stock company (societa per azioni) registered with the Chamber of Commerce of Chieti Pescara under REA number CH-130216, with tax and VAT number 02232960159. Its registered office is at Viale Marisa Bellisario 75, 66050 San Salvo, in the province of Chieti, Abruzzo, and its registry status is listed as active. The incorporation date synced to this profile is 12 October 2016; the site’s manufacturing operations, however, trace back considerably further, as described below.
The San Salvo plant began operating in 1972 as part of the Rotating Machinery Division of Magneti Marelli S.p.A. In a transaction cleared by the European Commission (Case No IV/M.1481, DENSO/Magneti Marelli), DENSO Corporation of Japan acquired an 80 percent shareholding in the business, then known as Magneti Marelli Manufacturing, in April 1999, and became its full owner by the end of 2001, when the company was renamed DENSO Manufacturing Italia S.p.A. The plant manufactures automotive electrical rotating components, historically starters and alternators, supplying the Italian domestic market, led by Stellantis, and export customers including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, according to regional press coverage of the company’s filed accounts.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2023, DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A. reported company-level revenue of approximately EUR 284.5 million, up 18 percent from about EUR 241.5 million in the prior year, with a net profit of roughly EUR 5.2 million and around 904 employees, according to filed-accounts reporting by regional newspaper Chiaro Quotidiano. The preceding financial year, ended 31 March 2022, had closed with a reported loss of approximately EUR 131 million, offset by a capital injection of about EUR 133 million. Later-year revenue and employment figures appear in commercial company-data aggregators but differ between providers and could not be independently confirmed against filed accounts for this profile.
In May 2026, the company, trade unions and the Abruzzo Region agreed a further 12-month period of extraordinary wage support (cassa integrazione straordinaria) for 660 employees at the San Salvo site, running to 18 May 2027, alongside a stated investment plan of approximately EUR 12 million, following a period of workforce restructuring that had begun in 2022.

Shareholders
Shareholders of DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A.
The Italian company-register field synced to this profile does not display shareholder or beneficial-owner records for DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A.; per the on-file registry note, this can reflect that a company is newly incorporated, that a first filing deadline has not yet passed, or that filings are overdue, rather than that no shareholders exist. Independent research located no complete Registro Imprese shareholder listing for this review. Regional press reporting on the company’s filed accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 describes a capital injection of approximately EUR 133 million received from “parent company Denso International Europe” to offset a reported loss for that year, identifying Denso International Europe B.V. (Netherlands) as a shareholder providing capital to the Italian entity. No shareholding percentage for Denso International Europe B.V., or for any other holder, was disclosed in the sources reviewed, and no full share-capital breakdown was located.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified ultimate beneficial owner can be identified for DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A. from the sources reviewed. A 1999-2001 change-of-control history (see group structure) indicates the operating business became wholly owned within the DENSO group at that time, but because no dated, complete share-capital chain with percentages at each link was located for the current shareholding structure, no calculated effective ownership percentage can be attributed to DENSO Corporation or to any individual.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. A parent-company relationship with Denso International Europe B.V. is indicated by regional press reporting on filed accounts, but no shareholding percentage, share class or dated Registro Imprese shareholder filing was independently accessible for this review.

Officers
Directors and officers of DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A.
The Italian company-register field synced to this profile records that officer data is not available for this jurisdiction, reflecting that current director filings for Italian companies are held behind the Chamber of Commerce’s paid visura camerale service rather than a free public feed. Independent research found regional press coverage of the company’s shareholders’ assembly held on 21 December 2023, at which Tsunenobu Hori was reported as elected chairman of the board of directors (consiglio di amministrazione) of DENSO MANUFACTURING ITALIA S.P.A. No other current board members, appointment dates for other directors, company secretary, or legal representative could be independently confirmed for this review, and no resignation or removal record was located for any prior chairman.
Data availability
Classification: Restricted. Officer appointment records exist in the Italian company register but require a paid visura camerale that was not obtained for this review; the single officer identified above comes from regional news reporting on a shareholders’ assembly rather than from a primary registry filing. Nationality is not disclosed for this individual in the sources reviewed and should not be inferred from name, employer location or any other data point.
