Virto-Cuccolini’s achievements during the Covid19 emergency

Looking back at the last six months, Virto-Cuccolini’s team could reach important results even during such challenging times like the Covid19 emergency.

Despite the closing of our production activities for three weeks and a limitation for a further three weeks following Government Decrees in Italy, our thoughts were focused on maintaining stability and development in our business.

Therefore, all Company’s Departments reorganized their work to maintain the original schedule, with the result that we were also able to speed up our program!

And here are our achievements:

– enhancement of our pneumatic conveying series with the designing of one new model (currently under testing)

– completion of the VP1 size 1200 project, with the first machine delivered in August 2020

– technical improvements to our VTU tumblers and VPF pharmaceutical sieving equipment range

– creation of a new brand and catalogue for our ceramic machinery range (here our new dedicated website)

– testing of new applications in our lab

– improvement of our production planning, with a general average reduction of 2 weeks lead-time

All this was achieved while we were putting in place and maintaining all necessary health and safety rules decided by the Italian Government.

As we learned during this extraordinary situation, remaining focused on our business even during such unforeseeable circumstances was key to keep the business going and fruitful. Being forced to work at a distance also contributed to enhancing our teamwork and sense of belonging to a common project.

Dear Customers, dear Suppliers,

Virto-Cuccolini Headquarters being located in Northern Italy, we are experiencing the uncertainty produced by this global pandemic from the middle of one of its biggest Western crisis centers.

Italy is unfortunately more frequently than not at the center of the international news for calamities.

Earthquakes, flooding, other types of disasters are emergencies that we know quite well. We are not known for being particularly good at disasters prevention, even if we seem to improve; however, we learned during the years to be particularly good at being able to recover quickly.

Virto-Cuccolini’s mindset during this unprecedented pandemic is to look for the elements that day-to-day are showing us the way forward, taking into account the specific safety and health measures we need to undergo to protect ourselves from contagion.

Virto-Cuccolini is a Company profoundly rooted into industrial production of many different sectors with its 74 years of worldwide presence. Even if this Covid-19 emergency is hitting all of us like an economic tsunami, industrial production for primary goods and to enable primary services shall go on for the sake of everyone on our planet. Food, pharmaceuticals, hygiene goods, fuel, electronics, waste management shall continue to be produced, also thanks to our sieving and screening technology, and to support our daily life as usual or even in higher quantity.

This is why we think we should not let this new, dramatic and even mind-blowing situation hinder us from thinking about solutions.

Being able to keep on supplying the necessary support in terms of machines, spare parts, assistance to these industries, even taking into account delays, obstacles to be overcome, and safety and health measures to be maintained, is a way for us not just to participate into this global emergency with our contribution; but also to rethink our job as a fundamental step to lay the track to the next future. A future about which we only know now that the very core of this emergency will accompany us for a significantly long period.

Italy is the first Country facing the highest peak of the pandemic in the Western world.

Even through the deepest pain for the deaths and the sorrow of our people, we feel the responsibility to open the way to other Countries with a resilience model that can be shared as the emergency is rising everywhere. We are not perfect, but sharing experience is the very first step to find the best solutions and keep on living. The main concept to overcome this period is responsibility, at its highest level of daily practice, and based on this we keep on building the future.

Our Virto-Cuccolini team is at your full disposal to find solutions and go through this time of uncertainty together. Communication technology is supporting us, so there is no obstacle to dialogue and learning new communication dynamics.

Our message in these shocking times is letting resilience pave our way. And we are here to share this.

Your Virto-Cuccolini team
