Carraro, active in transmission systems for off-highway vehicles and specialized tractors, closed the first half of 2022 the consolidated turnover of the Group stood at 369.3 million euros, up 19.1% compared to the same period 2021. This increase is driven by the excellent performance in the reference markets (agriculture and construction equipment) in all areas of the world.
