Our approach
“At the end of 2022, we experienced unprecedented constraints in accessing essential resources, mobilizing the entire ecosystem in which our businesses and individuals currently operate.
These constraints, which are impossible to ignore, required us to find bold solutions to keep manufacturing activity going, thereby increasing our commitment to make long-term and environmentallyfriendly choices.
The Group’s business activities are continually evolving and diversifying into new sectors, shaping a business model that is now partly focused on direct customers, who are very demanding in terms of the quality and transparency of our products.”
