Interview with Carlo Motta, new Director General of Italtech
The new project undertaken by the society bresciana Italtech, represented in Spain by Centrotécnica, will be led by President Mauricio Filoni and the director general Carlo Motta, which in this interview focuses on the main points of his program refirmando the vocation of the injectors of medium - heavy society.
In the month of October, with the aim of launching a new industrial project projected to the future, Italtech carried out a major reconfiguration in its management service. The new President of the society is Mauritius Filoni, while DG has been assumed by Carlo Motta.
The alternation at the vertices of the company is produced in coexistence with increasing investments sustained of the direction of the Comau group in the sector of plastic transformation by injection, both in r & d, as in the production field. The operational flow of society have been redesigned with the aim of achieving a more dynamic to properly accompany the predicted improvement in the market. So far the most promising signals have come from French markets, Spanish, and also, Italian. Especially large customers have been given a vote of confidence to the renewal, newly made.
At this important stage of development, the company of Brescia (Italy), after having recently matured experience even in other sectors of the market, has chosen to reassert the area of business of the injectors on medium-high tonnage.
This does not mean abandoning the productive diversification, but yes to unify the strategies towards clear signals from the market. In this interview, Carlo Motta, new CEO, presents first person structural changes and the objectives on the basis of the new strategies.
It is his first experience in the plastics sector?
It is not a completely new experience. Already in the past I was in the field of machines for extrusion in a multinational group. Then, within our Comau group, I worked in the field of the firm Comau Service. From 1 October 2003, I started this new challenge in Italtech.
When is it intervening on a priority basis to assume the leadership of Italtech?
After having identified the critical points and strengths of the company, we are operating at a level of improvement at full speed. Market originate, in fact, many requests, especially in the field of the injectors of great tonnage. At the same time, we are seeking rapid integration into the company's new human resources from the sector, on the other hand optimizing synergies with Comau, both technically and in the coordination of procurement.
The plastics sector is slowly emerging from a long stalemate situation. What changes is it finding out about the situation in the 1990s?
This new personal experience has in common with that precedent, the possibility of operating with large clients. I'm finding a competitiveness in continuous growth in the field of injection molding. In the technical area, has impressed me in a positive way the rapid renewal of technologies in the search for a product of absolute reliability. Also in the sector of the software and automation systems I am finding it a very important technological developments.
This phase of transfer, what are the objectives that Italtech intends to achieve in the medium and long term?
The main objective is to consolidate the product through innovation, automation, and investments. This process must occur in the area of the optimization of the overall service provided to the client, which means also, study and realization of exclusive systems. One of the most important producers of automobiles and commercial vehicles is giving us a growing confidence for years. With this client has been a joint development of injectors to the moulding of the fin fender of the car. Collaboration with this group is completed, naturally, with a particularly efficient assistance, as it is called for in the automotive field. The achievement of this collaboration could open new horizons in applications in the automotive sector.
In recent years, several Italian builders of injectors were part of operations to grow his own weight at the international level. Is it correct to say that Italtech has decided to bet to make more use of the synergies of the Group?
So it is, in fact. The manufacturing process to which I have referred above, is indeed born Italtech, but above all in the Group Comau, of those who take the spirit and the operational philosophy. Belong to a large industrial group, moreover, offers the financial and organizational resources to carry out a project of international development, without recourse to forms of collaboration with other builders.
