‘Duty to honour’
golden anniversary
▲ ▲ Guests at the gala dinner in Düsseldorf
OM LESMO celebrated the company’s
50th anniversary with a gala dinner at wire
2012 in Düsseldorf.
Customers celebrated with Dr Alvaro Piva,
president and CEO, who has personally
managed the company for more than 20
years, Eng. Giovanni Cecchini-Manara,
commercial director, and Dr Maria Laura
Piva, at present acting as marketing
manager.
During a speech, Giovanni
Cecchini-Manara said: “50 years makes a
long life, actually longer than mine, and
to be here today makes me very proud,
because we are the result of the efforts of
so many good people before us.
“The good work of the persons who
came before us, inside the company, and
especially the very good partnership
and support that you, our clients and
partners, have generously extended to
us in so many ways along the years, are
the fundamentals that make possible our
presence here today.”
He added: “Let me thank, in particular, all
those clients who have repeatedly put
their trust in our equipment, installing in
their factories many machines along the
years.
“I am thinking of clients everywhere in
the world, in all the five continents.
“It is with a lot of enthusiasm that today
we celebrate our golden jubilee.
“It is not only an anniversary; it is a
remarkable achievement that we have
the duty to honour.”
And it was a double celebration for OM
Lesmo, which also marked the long
service of Silvio Oriani, who has worked
for the company for almost 30 years.
His expertise – including 30 years as
manager in a cable-making factory
– has always been in the interests of
the customers, finding them the most
suitable solutions to their problems, from
stand to special – and often peculiar –
production requirements.
