Last year with government shutdowns, Carlo Salvi SpA found itself dealing with a pandemic by strengthening its digitalisation to include remote testing on each header machine. Now its development goals for 2021 are to continue to build and invest in digitalisation, as well as find new technological solutions.
Carlo Salvi is known for its header machines and cold and hot heading lines of tinned/metallic and titanium wire for the fastener manufacturing markets. Its machines produce products for a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, industrial and white goods.
Each Carlo Salvi header machine features remote testing capabilities to check all its functions. “It was an immediate decision to adopt all possible measures to face Covid-19 and our previous investments, such as remote testing, have certainly paid off,” comments Germano Pandiani, chief operating officer at Carlo Salvi. “From the protective structures we used and the physical ones, through to the continuous sanitisation of workplaces, as well as the strict procedures we implemented, Carlo Salvi was able to carry on in a more or less ‘normal’ way. These implementations and the spirit of the company enabled us to project Carlo Salvi as a safe environment and the core of that is our workers.”
Carlo Salvi, the Italian branch of Swiss group Hatebur, is based in the industrial district of Lecco, Lombardy, where, for more than 80 years it has had its manufacturing and operating headquarters in Garlate. With around 100 employees, Carlo Salvi exports 90% of its machines worldwide.
“We are perfectly aware of the essential role played by the human resources in an organisation’s success. According to our company philosophy we are trying to carry on with a focused and proactive recruiting campaign, as we strongly believe in the investment in highly specialised roles across our organisation,” comments Marco Pizzi, chief commercial officer at Carlo Salvi. “Being a leader in the market, especially in a niche industry like ours, requires the continuous integration of new resources and new products. The need and consequent demand are always more detailed/specific and so one of our prerogatives is having the answers before the question is asked. This is the reason why we constantly need new investments in both R&D, as well as in the human resources of the company.”
