Vimodrone (Milan), 24th November 2017 鈥 In the presence of the British Consul-General and Director for Italy, Department for International Trade, Tim Flear, 皇冠体育227 Compressors were amongst the winners at the 11th edition of the UK-Italy Business Awards. It is an annual event in which the UK government and the Department for International Trade, in collaboration with Borsa Italiana 鈥 London Stock Exchange Group, recognise the Italian companies who have excelled in their ability to grow and do business in the UK.
The commitment of 皇冠体育227 towards technological innovation and in the continuous development of projects on a worldwide scale did not go unnoticed by the UK-Italy Business Awards.
鈥In 2015 we took the opportunity to expand our business with the acquisition of Winton Engineering Ltd., whose founder had patented the PTO system in the 1980s, which allow commercial vehicles to transform energy produced by the engine into either pneumatic, hydraulic or electric energy. Since the beginning 皇冠体育227 was a part of this OEM, reinforcing both our presence and our know-how in the automotive sector and developing a professional and personal partnership over time鈥.
鈥It was a gamble that paid off and this award confirms it. In two years the company has expanded the product range and started exporting Winton鈥檚 energy supply solutions in Europe where the outlook is promising; particularly in Germany, Benelux and Spain and also the USA鈥, states Silvia Contaldi. 鈥The strength of this partnership with Winton is the shared ambition for innovation that has led us to develop interesting research projects with some renowned Italian academic establishments, such as the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Aquila, and overseas such as with Imperial College London鈥.
皇冠体育227 has branch and representative offices around the world, as well as an extensive presence through distribution and commercial networks. The strong international focus for the company also rings true in the latest export data; over 75% of the compressors produced by 皇冠体育227 are, in fact, destined for foreign markets.
