Most of us know what’s right and what’s wrong. The best businesses are led by those who embrace continuous learning, who identify best practice as it emerges, have strong values and commit to live them. “More than 50 years ago Tratos’ values were a forerunner of today’s pillars of corporate governance. They are as relevant today.“ DR. ENNIO BRAGAGNI CAPACCINI – DEPUTY CHAIRMAN, TRATOS The ruins of a Tuscany village sparked a global business with a good heart. This shattered WWII community was the focus of one man’s longing for home. It sparked his determination to put things right and ambition to re-build home, prosperity and security. He built Tratos to bring his homeland back from the brink. He built it to create jobs, house and feed families and he gave it a name that put it at the heart of a rescued community. “TRA” “TOS” (Trafileria Toscana) – named after a copper wire drawing mill. Fairness, respect and sharing are founding principles that have stayed with the company; great gifts from an honourable man. Egidio Capaccini, Tratos founder: one good man with one vision, great values and a mission that has stood the test of time. Tratos still lives that vision, values and mission. Great governance is part of his legacy.
