Ingersoll Machine Tools, the American company belonging to the Camozzi Machine Tools division of the Italian Camozzi Group, developed a large innovative fiber placement machine, called Mongoose, for Blue Origin, a company created by Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos specialized in the field of aerospace aircrafts. With Mongoose of Ingersoll, the Camozzi Group sets a new direction in the future of the aerospace industry.

It took three years to design and manufacture the five-layers ‘giant’ which is Mongoose, measuring 41x15x13 meters. The machine, disassembled and reassembled at Blue Origin rocket factory, at the Exploration Park of Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, will manufacture cryogenic tanks that will be filled with liquid oxygen and hydrogen to fuel rockets. Mongoose will also build fairings, large aerodynamic structures that encapsulate rocket payloads such as saltellites and other critical equipment.

The Mongoose project was made possibile thanks to the contribution of many local manufacturing companies in Rockford, Illinois, base of the Ingersoll company.  The project is a further application of the long list of successful cases of the Camozzi Group: Ingersoll machines produce fiber composite materials, often of carbon and bonded with resin or epoxy resin for many uses.
