The redevelopment of IBSA Italy’s headquarters combines beauty, innovation and sustainability in an environment designed for the well-being and productivity of employees.
IBSA Italy, the Italian subsidiary of the Group, officially inaugurates its new headquarters

The curtain has risen on antares, the new headquarters of the Italian subsidiary IBSA Italy, located in Lodi, not far from Milan. “A new home”, but also a significant milestone marking a key step in the company’s innovation journey. The new headquarters, inaugurated on 27 March, is the result of a major redevelopment project of the Lodi site and the surrounding areas, covering a total surface area of 12,200 m2.
AN AMBITIOUS AND SUSTAINABLE PROJECT

IBSA has invested € 17 million in this initiative, aimed at redesigning spaces tailored to employees’ needs across an area that includes offices, warehouses, and production facilities. The goal is to promote well-being, while equipping the structure with the most advanced standards in terms of energy and environmental sustainability.
Arturo Licenziati, President and CEO of IBSA Group, stated: “With antares, we want to establish a tangible and meaningful presence in Italy, leaving a mark that goes beyond architecture – a symbol of well-being, transformation, and care for the future. Over the past few years, IBSA has initiated a revolution centred on sustainability, encompassing economic, social, and environmental domains, with the commitment to being there for the people and the communities where we operate”.
IBSA, CLOSE TO YOU: WE SHARE SUSTAINABILITY, INNOVATION AND BEAUTY
The project is part of the broader “IBSA, close to you” initiative, a manifesto of IBSA’s daily commitment to creating value, launched in 2021 with the inauguration of cosmos, IBSA’s largest production site in Lugano. While the impact of a reality like IBSA is measured daily across local communities, antares represents a clear expression of a vision guided by three fundamental values: Innovation, Beauty and Sustainability. These are not just abstract concepts, but core principles reflected in every aspect of the new headquarters.
Innovation – a driving force behind our constant improvement, shaping a modern and functional working environment. Indeed, antares offers more efficient spaces, with a 40+% increase in areas dedicated to supporting daily activities, providing solutions designed to improve workplace well-being and foster the creation of new job opportunities.
Beauty – harmony between aesthetics and practicality, comfort and design. The new headquarters is not just a workplace, but a space where people can thrive, in a welcoming and stimulating environment.
Sustainability – a guiding principle in space transformation. IBSA has completely redeveloped and reimagined both internal and external spaces to ensure they are cutting-edge in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact.
“These three values are the guiding principles behind all our site redevelopment projects. It’s a distinctive approach, focused on enhancing and regenerating existing spaces without occupying new ones”, explained Christophe Almeida Direito, Sr. ESG & Real Estate Manager, IBSA Group.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by President Arturo Licenziati, IBSA’s management team, local and regional institutions and many guests, once again highlighting the significance of this new chapter in the history of IBSA Italy and its surrounding area.
