Relocation to Lakewood
10 th October 2008 was a big day for the
Eurolls group – a celebration in the
town of Valbrembo (Lombardy, Italy) to
mark the grand opening of the new
headquarters of Cortinovis Machinery
and the inauguration of a new industrial
pole. There are now three companies
of the group (Cortinovis Machinery,
Team Meccanica and Vitari) working in
the same industrial area, thus improving
synergy in production and commercial
management.
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.”
