We are what we make

An object, a product – any work is the result of a world vision, of the passion and labour which generated them. The union between the ideas and the end result is the verb "to make". For 80 years Lombardini has been making diesel engines of the highest quality, designed in every detail to satisfy their customers' requirements. When, in 1933, Adelmo Lombardini realized that agriculture needed engines and that mechanization was necessary to help man to work the land, he founded the company and set about making those engines. Ever since, Lombardini has continued to imagine what man needs, and will need, and has done its part to satisfy those needs, producing diesel engines which reflect its philosophy – we are what we make. And we continue to make the best, as we have always done. Today Lombardini, now part of the American multinational Kohler, has four branch offices in Europe (France, Spain, Germany and the UK), a local office in Singapore, 4 production plants (2 in Italy, in Reggio Emilia and Rieti, one in Martin, Slovakia, and one in Aurangabad, India), 150 distributors and more than 2000 service points including spare parts and technical service centres.

European leader in the production of diesel engines up to 56 kW

Lombardini, with Ecowind and Lombardini Marine, is the undisputed European leader in the production of diesel engines. In 2007 it was purchased by the American multinational KOHLER, becoming part of the Global Power Group, KOHLER Co.'s energy business unit, contributing to the group's growth. The merger was characterized by fundamental synergies which facilitated obvious and significant integration. Kohler produces and distributes worldwide both single- and two-cylinder gasoline engines with power outputs of 4 to 40 HP, and is one of the most familiar names on the US market for its application on countless products, especially in the Lawn and Garden sector. Lombardini produces and distributes single- and multi-cylinder diesel engines, covering a range of up to 56kW, equipping machines in various sectors (agricultural, construction, electrical, industrial, automotive and marine). It is the skills gained by each of the two companies which are mutually increasing the group's know-how, in a reciprocal exchange of great possibilities. This synergy also extends to the distribution network on a worldwide level. The strong presence of each company in its own market – Kohler in the United States and Lombardini in Europe, with four branch business offices in France, Spain, German and the UK – has created an world-wide commercial operation which extends as far as India and China.

In pursuit of excellence

Kohler / Lombardini's philosophy is based on a strong sense of ethics, on the joy of discovery and change, on passion for our work and on the commitment to enhancing the group's quality core. This core is represented by the behaviour and actions which make up the pillars of success of Kohler Co. and Lombardini. It is composed of four fundamental items:
- Building trust: supplying and receiving straightforward, thorough, well-documented and non-manipulated information, demonstrating broadmindedness and consideration for the ideas of others.
- Insisting on continuous improvement: setting in motion actions to improve existing procedures and conditions. Using appropriate methods to identify opportunities, putting solutions into practice and ascertaining their impact.
- Focusing on the end customer: making customers, guests, workers and their requirements the main objective of analysis, action and feedback.
- Establishing high performance standards: take on the responsibility and the task of successfully reaching and completing objectives, developing new standards of excellence ahead of time.

The man and his talents

On 25 November 1933, Adelmo Lombardini and his brothers founded the first Lombardini production plant in Gardenia, province of Reggio Emilia. A total of 500 engines were produced in 1934, 482 internal combustion and 18 diesel. There were 20 employees, and the precision in their work, which in those times was entirely manual, was impeccable. After abandoning production of complete products (tractors and motor-driven pumps), the company dedicated itself purely to producing diesel engines for agricultural uses before concentrating on increasing its commitment and success in developing engines for various new industry sectors. Always and only with a single objective – improvement. In November 1988, the three-millionth engine rolled off Lombardini's production line. In 2007 the company was purchased by the Kohler Group, an American multinational who recognized it as a world leader in the production of diesel engines up to 56 kW. Over the years, Lombardini has acquired unrivalled know-how and has become known for quality, reliability, and a complete respect for the environment, labour and safety. The company's engines, whose main feature is their versatility, are at the heart of machinery driving businesses in strategic sectors right across the modern economy – construction, industry, automotive and marine, with products destined for mini-cars, professional cleaning machines, marine engines, dumpers and concrete mixers. And those are just some of their uses – you can also find them in 4x4 tractors, fruit-picking tractors, generators, mowers, tillers, sickle mowers, motorized hoes, farm vehicles and still much more besides. Lombardini's keywords are innovation, versatility and flexibility. And they will continue to be at the heart of new and future conquests.

A self-sufficient choice

Ecowind is the only Lombardini-branded finished product. It is an autonomous vehicle climate control unit and, and at the same time, a DC generator which can run all on-board devices without having to turn on the engine. Powered by a small Lombardini diesel engine, ECOWIND offers the same level of comfort supplied by the vehicle when running with the engine off. Thanks to these features, it can supply air conditioning, heating and function as an automatic battery charger. ECOWIND is designed for all types of industrial vehicles, from tractors and engines right up to railway wagons. The system operates the air conditioning compressor and the alternator via a belt drive from the endothermic engine. The auxiliary engine runs the compressor directly without drawing power from the batteries – in fact it actually recharges them! ECOWIND is the only auxiliary power unit on the market which is able to guarantee the same levels of heating and air-conditioning performance with the vehicle's main engine turned off, as when is running. The power unit consists of an automotive compressor, an automotive alternator, and above all a single-cylinder Lombardini diesel engine.

Safety Checks

Two fundamental steps endorse the importance the company gives to quality, a term which for Lombardini does not just mean following the fundamental regulations in the sector, but above all the desire to improve, to create and to prevent risks. This resulted in certification of the company's quality system to both ISO 9001 in 1995, and QS-9000 in 2002 for companies doing business in the automotive sector. These were two steps on a pathway which certainly does not terminate here. The goal, indeed, is the attainment of excellence, a goal which is constantly moving ahead and which requires continuous investment in human resources, technology, organization and methodology to meet / exceed expectations. Every detail must reflect final quality, because the whole is made up of a series of perfect parts. Updating the quality system to meet ISO 9001:2000 (Vision 2000) is the best guarantee of a future earmarked for continuous improvement. In recent years, Lombardini has developed a series of projects to reduce environmental impact, as indicated in the company and Kohler Group guidelines. The objective is to reach zero net levels by 2035 (NetZero 2035), as such obtaining a triple advantage indicated by three precise terms: PEOPLE, PLANET and PROFIT. Net Zero means total eco-compatibility, eliminating greenhouse gases, solid refuse and noise pollution and investing in cutting-edge green technologies. The market, which in the 1980s feared the possible consequences of environmental regulations and restrictions, has by now understood that the new frontiers are respect for the planet and its inhabitants. As such, Lombardini has a team of 12 technicians working full-time on these issues. And over the past three years, more than 2 million Euros has been invested in equipment and laboratory systems to deal with them. In fact, most Lombardini engines are certified to comply with both European and American anti-pollution regulations. As far as the American standards are concerned, we meet not only the general federal EPA requirements, but also the specific (CARB) standards mandated by California.

Cutting-edge engines

Lombardini has three keywords for success – innovation, versatility and flexibility. Lombardini opened its R&D Centre in 1981- a place which would become the creative heart of the company. After 30 years it is still the backbone for the conception, design and development of all products. It has 90 carefully selected professionals working there, chosen on the basis of their experience, skills and passion for their work, many of them multi-skilled engineers working in numerous areas to take on the challenges of an ever-more competitive world. Its activities are innumerable, from elaborating specifications and calculations using software applications right through to coordinated activities with external research centres and verification of applications, perfectly synchronized throughout the whole chain. Their work is realised through 20 engine development test stations, 10 engine-life testing stations, 2 diesel emissions testing stations, 2 petrol emissions testing stations and various test and lab benches, up to the dust chamber for filter testing. Training of the researchers, designers and test engineers is based on the idea that it is necessary to have knowledge at every stage, before, during and after the engine is conceived. All in order to keep them at the cutting edge.

Quality by tradition

The story of Kohler, one of the oldest and largest private companies in the United States, began in 1873 when John Michael Kohler, the son of an immigrant from a small village in the Austrian Alps, purchased a steel and cast-iron foundry in Sheboygan, Wisconsin which produced tools for the local farms as well as various ornamental objects. The company, now over 130 years old, is still controlled by the direct descendants of the founder who run the whole business from the historic headquarters in Kohler, Wisconsin. Creativity, courage and looking "outside the box" for solutions have marked the personality of each of the descendants who have guided the company up to the present day, as well as all aspects of the company culture. The current president of the company is Herbert Kohler Jr., great grandson of the founder and certainly one of the most charismatic personalities in the sector. Today Kohler Co. is a world leader in the production of kitchen and bathroom fittings, but it is also and above all a diversified company which, thanks to an exceptional commitment in the field of design and product innovation, has grown exponentially in four business areas: Kitchen & Bath Group, Interiors Group, Hospitality & Real Estate Group and Global Power Group. This last business area supplies generators, engines and services in the energy sector - the very area in which Lombardini has excelled since 1933.

At that time, agricultural mechanization was only beginning, but that intuition was the first seed in a long success story. It was a winning idea because it was founded on a profound value which has never changed since – that each single engine must be made perfectly, with the level of care usually reserved for works of art. Today, Lombardini is the undisputed leader in Europe in the production of diesel engines, and this achievement is not just the fruit of the innovation and quality of our product, but is also due to the attention we pay to our customers. A thorough pre-sales service aims to understand the customer's requirements, turning it into a personalized product. The versatility and wide range of our products and the professionalism of our staff translate together into impeccable customer service, leading to a full understanding of the engine and its abilities and a guarantee that it is perfectly suited to the machinery that it will be installed in.

Our Worldwide presence in the market translates to value for our customers

Lombardini's success is built around our customers. It is for this very reason that our support and attention continue after purchase of our products, thanks to our worldwide presence in the market. The sales network operated by the main office in Reggio Emilia, can count on the essential contribution of the 4 European branch business offices: France (Lyon, since 1964), Spain (Barcelona, since 1965), Germany (Frankfurt, since 1967) and Great Britain (Oxford, since 1989). Further support is provided by over 150 distributors in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and over 2000 specialized centres for spare parts and technical assistance spread over five continents. The new Singapore local office also covers the Asia Pacific area, excluding India, where Lombardini already has a plant, and China, which together with the USA is covered by the Kohler group's network. The three strong points are stock, lead times and training. The company supplies engine and spare parts stock in extremely short delivery times in all countries, under supervision of agents and distributors who undergo continuous training updates on site, or in the Reggio Emilia facility.

The Power of Creativity

In the mid 1930s, Lombardini launched precise and distinctive publicity campaigns – large posters which, with the expressionist graphics of the day, represented the birth of the first engines and motor-driven pumps. In the same period, the company began participating in Italy's most important trade fairs, from Verona all the way down to Bari. The attention paid to communications and advertising has always been a cornerstone of the company's philosophy and practice. A clear and creative manner, in line with the "sign of the times", to convey to customers and the world of business the direct message of a company in movement, continuously searching for innovation and simplicity. For this reason Lombardini is, still today, always innovating when it comes to its corporate communication system – taking advantage of a renewed media strategy which takes into account the enormous power of digital channels, social networks and the web. All of these areas require imagination and attention. New tools, intangible flows of information requiring a new language, a new design profile and the desire to communicate through a new era. A friendly and professional approach on social networks and great adaptability. The same characteristics which have always set Lombardini apart, ever since 1933.

The most complete range of gasoline and diesel engines up to 56kW

Lombardini has been part of the Kohler group since 2007, a union which has resulted in the creation of an international synergy from a market and product point of view. Our professional and financial resources, company history, and creative profile at the highest level, have allowed us - and continue to allow us - to offer a unique range of diesel and gasoline powered products. Lombardini's single- and multi-cylinder air- and water-cooled diesel engines up to 56kW and Kohler's single- and two-cylinder gasoline engines from 4 to 40 hp are able to meet the entire range of requirements of numerous sectors, from agriculture to construction, power generation to automotive. The range has been completed with a truly extraordinary product – the KDI engine. The first Kohler branded diesel engine produced by the Italian company. The common thread running through the design of this completely new family of engines is the use of highly advanced technology which allows clean combustion and limited emissions without the use of after-treatment systems, while simultaneously enabling remarkable performance levels to be reached. The excellent power and torque in relation to the engines' compact size and their lack of particulate abatement systems (such as DPFs) translate into advantages for all machinery manufacturers. OEM's now have the opportunity to replace their current engines with lower-displacement units and, at the same time, enjoy the benefits of reduced fuel consumption and longer maintenance intervals, since no filter regeneration is required. The future is now.

They effectively enhanced the conference with stories and anecdotes about this circuit, which has become the leading event of reference for sail boating enthusiasts within only 4 short years. The goal of the Lombardini Cup is above all to promote the most noble aspects of the sport and a passion for the sea and the environment. The Cup has introduced to demonstrate the commitment that Lombardini has consistently maintained in the world of sailing.

Lombardini celebrates 80 years of innovation.

In 1933 Adelmo Lombardini, together with his brothers Alberto and Rainero, started his own business, setting up the company "Officine Meccaniche Lombardini Brothers", located in the outskirts of Reggio Emilia. From 2007, KOHLER Co, believing in the same values of continuous research, customer focus and quality of commitment, continues on the same path to international success. And this year, 2013, we are celebrating our eightieth anniversary. Eighty years through contemporary history, via the Second World War, the post-war reconstruction, the economic boom, the Cold War and the economic crisis, events in which the Company has always responded, adapting and innovated. Today, innovation is still defining the historical brand of Reggio Emilia:
- Product innovation, thanks to the launch of the new KDI (Kohler Direct Injection) Engine Family, that will extend the product range up to 100 kW.
- Image innovation. In harmony with Lombardini's ongoing commitment to innovation, what better way to celebrate 80 years than an event which incorporates modern media tools such as Face-book and Youtube which are widely accessible to all, and a strong connection with Reggio Emilia - the birthplace of the Company. 80years together, an initiative that will take place throughout 2013, aims to gather the evidence which expresses the strong cohesion between the company, its network, its customers and the community. The company has commissioned Peter Anceschi, a young artist from Reggio Emilia, to create a unique painting, of which 80 prints have been made tol be donated to the first 80 people that over coming months during various Lombardini events, will leave a video-message about Lombardini. All photos and videos collected will be part of a communication project via social-network media, and will provide a tangible demonstration of the variety and the large number of friends of the company. The initiative was launched during the EIMA 2012 exhibition, with the first two copies of the art work donated to Gianni Borghi and Francesca Rubbiani, President and Marketing Director of Lombardini respectively. Now, it's your turn !


New communications for a new world

A new communications strategy to highlight the strength of a successful "marriage". A new-look website which gathers all the products, the strong points and the philosophy of a worldwide group under the Lombardini and Kohler co. brands. This is what is represented by this new site, inside which you will be able to find the history, characteristics and objectives of the Reggio Emilia company – including Ecowind and Lombardini Marine – and the American multinational. With applications, catalogues and new multimedia content, it is a first step into the 80th year of Lombardini – founded in 1933 – riding the wave of innovation and consolidated strategy. This is what has made Lombardini and Kohler great, and which will continue to make them even more competitive.


KDI wins "Innovation Award" at EIMA 2012

Another important accolade has been given to the KDI engine.
After the "Diesel of the Year 2012" award presented during the INTERMAT show in Paris, by "Diesel" magazine, the most important Italian publication within the engine technology sector, the KDI was honored for its technical innovation at EIMA International held last November in Bologna. Lombardini received this prestigious award with the following endorsement, expressed by the judging committee: "The product allows to avoid project and service complications, linked to conventional Particulate After – treatment systems, in a power band where simplicity is a core feature, due to the reduced dimensions of the engine compartment typical of vehicles designed for agriculture and construction applications" The award was presented directly by Massimo Goldoni, President of UNACOMA, the event organizer.


EIMA 2012: A record Event

The 40th EIMA International Exhibition closed with a result that exceeds even the most optimistic forecasts. The review of the mechanization of agriculture, horticulture and related components - promoted by FederUnacoma and organized by Unacoma Service - recorded an all time high in terms of exhibition space (140,000 square meters net, gross 270 000), visitors (196,192 people in five days from 7 to 11 November) and foreign attendees (32,133). Levels of foreign visitors are growing strongly with an increase of 22%, compared to the 2010 event the attendance of which already represented very positive growth, confirming the international scope of this Exhibition, which stands out as one of the "premier events" in the agricultural industry. In this context Lombardini has once again stood for innovation and design, obtaining the prestigious EIMA Technical Innovation Award 2012 with the KDI engine, the new and innovative product compliant to the Stage 3B/TIER 4Final emission norms without the use of any after treatment devices. During the show, we had the pleasure to receive the visit of the Minister of Agriculture, Mario Catania. Furthermore, EIMA was the occasion for Lombardini's Italian dealers to meet together and be fully updated regarding new products and the most recent news about the company. The next exhibition will be "Bauma" - the most important European exhibition for the Construction industry - that will take place in Munich from the 15th to the 21st of April.

The new Lombardini/Kohler dealer locator

With the launch of its new site, Lombardini is offering a new service to its customers and to anyone who needs information on the company's sales and service points. This is an easy-to-use dealer locator – a geolocation app' which allows users to find out where they can obtain spare parts, purchase Lombardini products and have their machinery repaired, filtering the search on the basis of two extremely simple parameters – the location of the dealer or the name of the spare parts centre or reseller. In the first case, you will be immediately shown the facility nearest to your current location; in the second, just knowing the name will let you find the location. A new service to meet the needs of those who choose Lombardini - in an even more timely and efficient manner.


Together into the future

In March 2013, the Engineering University of Modena and Reggio Emilia dedicated to "Enzo Ferrari", in collaboration with DemoCenter-Sipe and New Didactica (two of the most important local professional training school) , commences the thirteenth edition of the Master in Vehicle Engineering for graduates in Engineering, with a strong passion for the automotive vehicle and business. Lombardini, an official partner of the initiative, provides an opportunity for the students of the Masters course to make contact with our company by providing factory visits, educational events, testimonies and internships. The professional training course is the answer to the cultural and scientific application of a new professionalism in the automotive sector. It also aims to combine university education with the World of business, providing knowledge, technical skills and organizational measures for effective professional development. Thus responding to the ever changing configuration of professional skills required by the industry. The Masters course has a duration of 12 months: including a first phase of classroom lessons for a total of 1500 hours (from March to October) followed by three months of internship at one of the sponsor companies.
