IHI
July 2020: we are pleased to inform that SAITO has acquired the opportunity to distribute the new, original and homologated turbochargers produced by the Japanese IHI. IHI – Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries – is a historic brand in the history of the turbocharger, just think of the collaboration with Maserati, which led to the development of the biturbo; with Ferrari that saw the entry of the turbo into Formula Uno; with Fiat in the development of the turbocharging of the Punto GT, just to name a few. The Japanese company has been present in Italy for many years: its initial headquarters were settled in Milan and there is still a production plant in Cernusco Lombardone (LC) that is particularly strategic for the central European market. Also for the nautical sector – followed by our subsidiary SAILOG – IHI produces many turbines that we find installed on Yanmar marine engines.
