The company produces motor gear products and fan drive systems, and specialises in hydraulic technologies. Despite the fact that the lower cost of labour in Slovakia generates savings of at least 35%, Turolla plans to reshore its entire Slovakian production to a new plant in Castel San Pietro, Emilia Romagna, in Northern Italy. General Manager Riccaro Carra stated that Italian bureaucracy is the main disadvantage of the planned backshoring. However he believes that the local network of trained engineers, and the presence of high quality research centres and universities which are located in Emilia Romangna will compensate for it. The new plant will not need to hire new employees at the start of operations, and instead will use 100 of the company's 200 current employees. However, the Danfoss Group plans a large scale recruitment of highly competent professionals in the near future.
