Pagani S.p.A. is pleased to announce the revival of Modena Design, the company founded by Horacio Pagani in 1991 to develop cutting-edge composite material technologies. This endeavor was driven by his childhood dream: to create the most beautiful car in the world.
“I always remember Leonardo da Vinci’s words, saying that Art and Science can walk together hand in hand. Today, we gain an additional limb to walk even faster and more steadily, with the confidence that we can overcome the innovation challenges the future holds.”
Horacio Pagani,
Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili
Modena Design, today
Today, Modena Design is a precision CNC machining company primarily focused on the production of parts for the automotive, aerospace, and biomedical industries. Its equipment, software, and tools represent the pinnacle of technology available on the market, ensuring design excellence, top performance, and the highest precision of the manufactured components. What sets Modena Design apart is its commitment to enhancing human expertise, which translates into continuous investments in research, training, and technology. At the heart of the production process is the noble technique of machining from billet, performed with a craftsmanship approach.
The revival of Modena Design is crucial for Pagani Automobili to maintain complete control over every aspect of the production of aluminum, titanium, and special metal components—from design and engineering to manufacturing with state-of-the-art equipment. Currently, Modena Design produces over 700 components for each Pagani Utopia, ensuring the exceptional quality that defines every Pagani project.
The state-of-the-art technology and the value of human professionalism
«For over twenty years, we have been producing components using the technique of machining from billet, where the human element is indispensable. In processes like anodizing and polishing, there’s no room for mechanical repetition—no machine, however advanced, can replace the trained eye of a craftsman in capturing the finer details. We firmly believe that excellence is the result of artisanal skills, where each component is hand-finished, a product of extraordinary dexterity and expertise honed through years of training and experience.»
