Melett Ltd, the leading global brand in the development, manufacture and supply of precision engineered turbochargers and parts to the professional aftermarket, has launched its Melett Authorised Service Centre (ASC) programme in Italy.

Melett chose the recent Autopromotec show in Bologna to announce the first four ASCs; independent turbo repair specialists which have the necessary equipment and expertise to offer high quality turbocharger repairs, using Melett parts.

The first ASCs announced are; Agiturbo in Bari; La Meccanica Turbo Diesel in Genova; Tecno Turbo in Malgesso and Turbo-Tech in Creazzo. Further new ASCs are due to be confirmed soon.

Mario Morbelli, Mellet’s Sales Account Executive for Italy says;

“It is great to be introducing our Authorised Service Centre programme to Italy, and we are very pleased to have these first four partner companies leading the way with the Italian market.

“Melett is committed to supporting the turbocharger repair market with the highest quality parts and service. The Melett Authorised Service Centres aim to bring together Italy’s finest turbo repair specialists who offer the best products and service. Melett are creating a network of repair experts who care about quality, and who garages and customers can trust.”

The Melett Authorised Service Centre concept was piloted in Poland, commencing in 2015 and Italy is the second country to have the ASCs.

Melett’s decision to introduce the ASC programme has been influenced by changes it has witnessed in the global turbocharger repair industry. Years of growth have seen new start-ups entering the market, alongside the experienced original businesses, but some of these new entrants lack the skills and proper equipment to undertake high quality repairs. This has also coincided with a surge in the availability of low cost, low quality parts.
