Building Biancalani: The Faces Behind Innovative Textile Machinery
Decades of Expertise: How Loyal Employees Shape the Future of Fabric Finishing Technology
Some people have been there since the very beginning. It is less and less common actually, in these changing times, and that is why Biancalani Textile Machinery values their long-time employees even more. To build a company you need to rely on trustworthy people sharing your business idea and your values. Maurizio and Franco are considered nothing less than two pillars of the company and now they share what it feels like to help it grow up.
What is your job and how long have you been working at Biancalani?
Maurizio: I’m a textile machinery fitter, which practically means I can also take care of any necessary repair. Everything I know, I’ve learned right here. I was a young man when I interviewed for the job with the founder and soul of the company, Fiorenzo Biancalani, and since then I’ve never wanted to work anywhere else. That is because of the quality of the people who have built Biancalani Textile Machinery. I’ve seen this company starting from zero and getting to top levels thanks to passion and dedication to work, step by step, making their way in the international textile market.
Franco: I’m a mechanical fitter as well, if I’m not wrong I’ve held this position for 48 years now. I started working for another company as an apprentice, but then I was hired by Biancalani and I’ve been working here since then. So many things have changed of course, especially since AIRO® machinery’s incredible, decisive invention. It all has become more and more effective despite a more and more complicated international business scene.
What does making the difference mean for you?
Maurizio.: I think that my expertise can be of use for the new generations and I’ve been working on passing it on and on creating a strong team. I’ve always felt part of a family and now I hope the same for others. I hope they can get to be my age and one day someone may tell them “it’s retirement time” and they kind of fall from the cloud because they like what they do so much. That is what happened to me.
Franco: I totally agree about the expertise part. I think it is fundamental to have a clear and deep understanding of all of Biancalani’s machinery, not only of the latest, innovative ones such as AQUARIA® and AIRO®24, but also of what are the historical machines. Training the new generations is essential, especially on how to contribute to projects so that you can get to fast and effective solutions.
How do you picture the company’s future?
Maurizio: I can’t deny I kind of feel as the company were mine as well. So, I hope it will keep on growing more and more. I’m sure there will be new projects and new achievements at an international level.
Franco: To have trained, expert employees will surely be an added value in the future – it already is – and Biancalani has definitely work on it. I also hope that it will be possible to simplify procedures, so that the company will be free to keep on showing to the mechano-textile world all their potential.
