The programme included a con- ference: “Strategies for addressing global markets and the recession.” President of Eurolls group, Mr Renato Railz, welcomed over 200 people (authorities, specialist press, repre- sentatives of trade associations and customers) to focus on what he called the ‘E factor’ – the enthusiasm that comes from a policy of friendly incorporation, enhancing the specific know-how and identity of each firm while optimising productive and commercial activities with a group strategy. “Eurolls Group has today a sound position on an international scale in the wire, cable and tube sectors; in particular the associated firm Cortinovis Machinery is definitely a leading company as for the cable industry, especially referring to rotating machines,” Mr Railz told the conference. “So it seems there is no need for celebrations.”

“But I think that celebrations are always important if they can enhance and improve enthusiasm towards new challenges. “Today, technology, product innovation and after sales service are un- doubtedly the key words for success, but in twenty-one early years of activity I realised that no project and goals can be achieved without a solid group of people around you, which does not only mean reliable and skilled professionals, but also positive thinking, enthusiastic people.

“The results prove that I am right: the three companies of the industrial pole are going to double the sales proceeds of 2007. That is why I wanted this celebration day: to show how a period of general recession can be over- come by hard work and confidence in the future, turning worldwide and fast changes of the market into opportunities of new business.”
