“Strategy, training and equipment, so we fight the crisis and create new business opportunities.” Is the General Manager of CTS S.p.A. – Dr. Marco Melandri – who explains firsthand what is the group’s vision. “Work is not something that exists by itself, but must be created day by day, dealing with the client, understanding its needs, and studying ad hoc solutions to implement its production processes: this is our recipe for development. Therefore, we constantly invest in the training of all our staff, the real first resource, trying to develop the skills of each worker and enhance their ideas.” CTS S.p.A. is a company specialized in exceptional transport and industrial handling and positioning, active since late ‘80s in the sectors of ceramic, oil & gas, power, shipbuilding, mechanical, civil and industrial engineering, able to offer its services both in Europe and in all countries bordering the Mediterranean basin as successfully done many times.
