A specialist in the production and distribution of fasteners, fastening systems, tools and machines for sheet metal assembling, Rivit Srl is proud to belong to the club of companies that can put the coveted ‘Made in Italy’ brand on its products.
But why is it so important? “Made in Italy means innovation, continuous research and development; constant dialogue with the customer; accurate aftersales assistance; and a sustainable future together with those who want to be part of it,” comments Rivit. “Compared to international competitors, of which there are many and also of high-quality, an Italian manufacturer is known for being reactive, flexible and capable of finding new solutions in a very short time.”
The above characteristics have proved extremely useful for Rivit in the past six months, with markets and everyday life completely different due to Covid-19. “Those who already know us are aware of the fact that Rivit offers cutting-edge fastening systems. We are always looking for new solutions, but above all we consider dialogue and collaboration as one of our strengths. In fact, we never forget to be people before professionals,” explains Rivit.
During lockdown Rivit continued developing new products as well as improving those already in the range, aiming decisively at new tools that characterise Industry 4.0. “In particular, we noticed process control systems are attracting a lot of interest from the market and there’s definitely an increase in requests. Despite the great effort by our employees, we also have to deal with the impact of this period’s sales results. Nevertheless, we are starting to see the recovery that, in absence of any new difficult times, could be achieved by the end of the year,” states Rivit.
Rivit adds: “Until last year we knew perfectly well where we would have wanted to be in five years, and actually, nothing has changed in our objectives; but we are certainly asking ourselves questions about the timing. 2020 is turning into a year of a real economic and social earthquake. The global situation has shown, in fact, that more and more companies are looking for the ‘Made in Italy’ quality and for the possibility of using a reliable and geographically close partner. Even in this situation, Rivit will continue to be a reliable, important supplier to the fastener industry.”
