Teksid S.p.A. is an Italian company based in Carmagnola specialized in the production of iron, aluminum and magnesium castings for the automotive industry. Originally known as Ferriere Piemontesi, today Teksid is 100% owned by Stellantis, and was owned by its predecessors Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (2014-2020) and Fiat S.p.A. (1978-2014). The company was renamed Teksid in January 1978.[1]
