INDEX

Everyday, there are many reasons to be proud of the firm” Battista Faraotti

If you weren’t involved in the wire industry what career would you have chosen? I always wanted to work in this field, so I wouldn’t have chosen anything different. COMPAN PROFIL

Battista Faraotti Function: Founder and president of Fainplast S.r.l.

Current projects of note (large contracts etc): Certainly the development of the last products that we launched on the market, in particular halogen-free compounds (XLPO – HFFR), which are designed for the production of cables for solar panels.

What’s the best thing about your job? The best thing about my job is that every day you can see the development of new projects, the satisfaction of our customers, their constant loyalty and, last but not least, the satisfaction and well-being of the entire team and all our employees. And the worst? I can’t really think of a “worst” thing in my job. Negative elements are always considered as starting points for new challenges and opportunities. The toughest thing about your job? In the very rare cases when it happened, it was tough to decide not to avail myself of the collaboration of some employees. What’s the most exciting project you’ve worked on and why? Development of new products is always very exciting for us. What’s the longest you’ve worked without sleep? Especially at the beginning, when I was doing the whole work myself, my working days were never-ending. In this respect, another tough moment was when the company was relocated from Assisi to Ascoli Piceno.
