Business | In the Lombardy region, 70% of automotive products are concentrated in the Milan area. Livorno is Tuscany's automotive center and companies such as Spica, Motofides and Whitehead have production plants in this area. Automobile factories built in the past in Southern and Central Italy (notably Alfa Romeo at Pomigliano and Fiat at Cassino, Pratolaserra, Termini Imerese and Melfi) have not significantly impacted the concentration of suppliers and sub-suppliers in the traditional areas of Northern Italy.
