Important event: opening of the TMS Technical and Management School The corporate Technical & Management School (TMS) was inaugurated at the Meeting Centre in via Balla in Reggio Emilia on Friday 15 June. "Investing on people" is the focal concept of the Brevini philosophy and the inauguration of this School proves it. This concept was reiterated by Renato Brevini (Chairman of Brevini Group) during his talk at the Round Table where also Maurizio Brevini (Vice-Chairman of Brevini Fluid Power and manager of the School) and Vito Bonafede (CEO of Brevini Fluid Power) took part. In particular, Maurizio Brevini emphasised the importance of continuous education: "Having educated human resources is an essential asset to tackle the challenges of the global market." The school is dedicated to Giovannino "Nino" Miglioli, manager of SAM Hydraulik during the '70s. During the first stage, the courses will be held by highly qualified in-house teachers, who will be supported, in the next stage, by outsourced trainers. There are 3 types of courses: for new employees, management courses and technical courses. The event was attended by over 170 people, including a number of celebrity entrepreneurs and educators. New subsidiary: welcome to Brevini Finland Finland has a strategic importance in monitoring the Northern European market, which has a primary role in the hydraulics industry. Finland's leading sectors are: mining and construction machinery, forestry, shipyard and port facilities. Up to now, Brevini Fluid Power has always relied on the Brevini Power transmission subsidiary; however, this solution is no longer adequate to sustain the volume of business. This is why a parallel structure was created and a new Area Manager was hired. The strong suits with which Brevini Fluid Power Finland enters the market are its long experience in the hydraulics industry, a well-stocked warehouse, and the possibility to assemble the components; however, its distinctive asset is the profound synergy with the Brevini Power Transmission subsidiary and the capability of offering complete solutions. The subsidiary is managed by Timo Savolainen, supported by Jani Lindroos (sales manager) and new collaborator, Lasse Manninen. Brevini Fluid Power returns to Russia The construction and earthmoving industry is going through some rocky times in Europe and Brevini Fluid Power is aiming at globalisation. The Russian market is rather lively, as could be noticed during the CTT trade fair. All this was demonstrated by the expansion of the exhibition area, with exhibitors from all over the world, in particular, from Europe and China. Even the quality of the machines is getting increasingly closer to Western standards. The trade fair held in Moscow between 29 May and 2 June is a reference point for operators in this industry, and Brevini Fluid Power was part of the Italian collective participation with a 32 m2 stand. Many novelties were showcased: the new motors of the SH11C and SH7V ranges and the CXDH3 proportional pressure-compensated bankable solenoid valve combined with the HPV mobile valve drew visitors' attention. The high attendance of specialised and skilled interlocutors proved the growing interest in value-added solutions. In the photograph is the BFP stand The "Werther Campaldi" project: improving the synergy between school and enterprise The Werther Campaldi Project, launched in 2001, has just celebrated its tenth anniversary. Over this period, it has accompanied 22 students from Reggio Emilia from their high school diploma to the Engineering degree, providing educational grants, internships and support for writing their theses. During the award ceremony at the Nobili Industrial Technical State Institute on Saturday 26 May, other three students were included in the project thanks to their excellent results. "It is quite clear – commented Prof. Valerio Messori – that, thanks to the Werther Campaldi Project, our school is more open to the world of enterprises and, in the near future, the education of their Human Resources will indeed become a key factor". Mirco Campaldi, son of Werther Campaldi and Operations Manager at Brevini Fluid Power, pointed out that the educational level of students graduating from the Nobili Industrial Technical State Institute has continuously improved over the years, yet another sign that the synergy between schools and entrepreneurship yields excellent fruits. At the end of the grant award ceremony, Maurizio Brevini, Vice-Chairman of Brevini Fluid Power, officially announced the creation of the Technical and Management School that will be inaugurated on the 15 June (starting from 17:30) at the Brevini Fluid Power Meeting Centre in via Balla 4, Corte Tegge (Reggio Emilia).
