04 CEO Pneumax S.p.a. ROSSELLA BOTTACINI PNEUMAX: THE FUTURE THAT AWAITS US Editorial We live in a time of profound transformation, a moment that touches us deeply. The world feels fragmented, searching desperately for a fragile balance. The foundational certainties we’ve long relied upon are shifting with incredible speed, creating a ripple effect of interconnected consequences. From wars with unpredictable outcomes to disruptions in supply chains, the race for technological supremacy, the promises and challenges of artificial intelligence, and the pressing issues of sustainability—every thread of this narrative signals that the antidote to our chaotic reality lies in resilience and competitiveness. Europe must rise with strength and unity, especially in economic, industrial, and financial policy, to navigate these turbulent waters. Despite our nation’s limitations, we remain a robust and resilient economy, standing tall among others. This pride is not a call for complacency but a foundation for credibility and authority, urging us to aim higher. Today, knowledge must contend with an increasingly intricate and dynamic landscape, where breakthroughs demand not only innovation but also a renewed understanding of humanity. At stake is nothing less than the essence and future of who we are, with emerging scenarios that are as full of potential as they are fraught with risk.To confront these monumental challenges and empower new generations as leaders of the change humanity so desperately needs, we must act with tools that are both innovative and deeply human. It’s imperative to safeguard what defines us as individuals, preserving the dignity and uniqueness inherent in every person. This moment calls for a collective spirit—a shared appreciation of the values that bind us, a profound sense of hope, and a steadfast commitment to nurture growth and potential. We are, above all, beings of body, mind, and heart, and none of these can be neglected.Our vision is rooted in the perspective of Value—an ethos that embraces challenges, honors individual decisions, adapts with resilience, and rejects the inertia of bureaucracy. It demands a passion for complexity and a willingness to participate and share. This is not just about technical expertise or business processes; it’s a mindset, a philosophy, and a call to action.It’s a vision that dares to look beyond the obstacles, to uncover what lies on the other side. It is the drive to imagine, understand, and create a future that transcends the limitations of today. Together, with courage and purpose, we can overcome the existing and shape a better tomorrow.
02 05 Only by continuing to work on skills, technology and training will we continue to stand out in this increasingly competitive scenario. And as our history teaches us: “Even when difficulties and challenges test you, remember that the Heart can come to your aid. If you work by feeling good about yourself, loving what you do, creating real bonds with the People you work with and putting yourself at the service of society, you can be sure that the results will come.” And this is our creed!

18 Investments continue to expand the training offerings. 2024 saw the inauguration of the new didactic laboratory built at the Lurano headquarters, equipped with didactic benches and tools to facilitate both theoretical and practical learning; thanks to this facility, Pneumax Academy has recently been recognised as a CETOP (European Association of Reference for the fluid power sector) certified centre able to issue certificates certifying skills up to level P3. On the occasion of the presentation of the certificate, we had the pleasure of hosting Assofluid president Roberto Renzini and Federtec director Marco Ferrara. A NEW CETOP- CERTIFIED WORKSHOP FOR PNEUMAX ACADEMY #TRAINING
19 02 In accordance with the CETOP (European Committee for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Transmissions) European training programme, ASSOFLUID/FEDERTEC works in close cooperation with training organisations with the common goal of promoting ‘competence-based qualifications’ and qualifying trained personnel both nationally and internationally. What is CETOP certification? Not only infrastructures, but also strategic collaborations that enrich the training offer, this is the path taken by the Academy, which can now add a further piece to its development project: the synergy with the 24Ore Business School. The agreement envisages structuring training courses related to the world of industry, but not only, at the Pneumax headquarters. The first courses will address three themes: - Artificial Intelligence, - Sustainability, - Procurement. The scheduled events, aimed both at the Pneumax network and the broader industrial sector, seek to inspire reflections on the most pressing and challenging issues for manufacturing companies, as well as to foster relationships and collaborations to face the near future. The activities of Pneumax Academy are underway in collaboration with the preferred partner for training and deepening knowledge on trend topics, starting with AI, Supply Chain, and ESG. THE SYNERGY WITH 24ORE BUSINESS SCHOOL IS HERE Assofluid/Federtec has therefore implemented at national level the European recommendations that identify different levels, from 1 to 3 (in increasing degree), of training standards for industrial and mobile hydraulics and pneumatics; specific recommendations identify for each level the competences to be pursued and the details of the curriculum of the teaching programme and appropriate drills. Once the guidelines have been defined, the qualification of the training centres themselves with appropriate CETOP certification becomes essential, enabling the centres themselves to certify, in consultation with Assofluid/Federtec, the training achieved by each individual candidate.
