Companies, supply chains, sectors of excellence. Osservatorio sul Merito tells the future of Italian excellence, between strategies, innovation and creativity

On the occasion of the National Day of Made in Italy, which occurs on 15 April, Osservatorio sul Merito dedicates this issue to the virtuous ecosystem of businesses, supply chains and know-how that make beautiful and well-made Italian products competitive in the world. As the Deputy Minister of Mimit, Valentino Valentini, declared: «The new generation Made in Italy is no longer just fashion, food and furniture: it is a production system that combines advanced manufacturing, design and digital technologies in a value proposition that is difficult to replicate elsewhere». The emblem of Italian advanced manufacturing is packaging, a key sector for the country with an incidence of 3.3% on manufacturing turnover and 1.7% on GDP. Tubettificio Robbiese represents an exemplary model of a production company that has been able to grow in size and production quality, counting on a mix of flexibility and strategic vision, experience and innovation. Led by Adriano Cavazzoni, the Robbio company contributes to the evolution of the sector, diversifying production into three main business areas: industrial, luxury packaging and food & beverage. Packaging is no longer functional, but identifying: from a simple wrapper it has now become a communication and sustainability tool capable of determining the success of a product on the market. «The Tubettificio Robbiese is today configured as a real production hub, in which advanced technology and artisanal knowledge are integrated in a synergistic way. This allows us to offer highly customized solutions, while maintaining high quality and production standards”, explains Cavazzoni, who looks to the future with a conscious generational transition, in the name of continuity. «We are convinced that our daughter Sonia will be able to take up the baton and continue the company path, bringing with her, on the one hand, the knowledge of the values and corporate culture that we have built over time, on the other the ability to interpret market changes with contemporary sensitivity”.

The future of Made in Italy is not only in the quality of the products, but in the quality of the ideas, skills and entrepreneurs who make it possible. Business models We cannot talk about Made in Italy and the country’s growth without involving SMEs, who cannot be left behind, but rather are called to develop synergies to address foreign markets, digital transition and sustainability.
