Opinion Paolo Colombo, Anna Mascheroni, Pietro and Emanuela Colombo. People make the real difference As a manufacturer of high technology machines and systems for tube processing, on a daily ba- sis we must confront the challenge of a constantly changing market. What we offer today is the product of past decision and what is being developed today should foresee future market needs. What is beyond doubt is that all the related decisions and actions will be taken by people: hence it can only be people that can make the real difference. In BLM GROUP human resources have always been highly valued: 12,800 hours were dedicated to training activities in 2004 involving more than 65% of our employees. The entire sales and service network took part in training programs, including our subsidiaries abroad who face the extra dimension of fulfilling customer demands locally and independently from the HQ. Human resource is one of three pillars of BLM GROUP’s strategy together with innovation and market development. A long established BLM GROUP principle is that over 5% of our turnover must always be invested in R&D, additional initiatives in 2005 include the support of market development with our sales and after sales service teams empowered to ensure we are meeting and exceeding customer expectations by regular personal contact. BLM GROUP’S latest innovations for the market are focused on increasing added value to tube processing operations and include: • New ALL-ELECTRIC ranges of Tube benders and Endformers to complement our established market leading hydro-electric ranges. • New laser cutting options to process open sections as well as tube. • A new version of the ADIGE CM502 combined sawing and machining centre, now covers a much wider range of machining applications. Added to this is the new product philosophy we are successfully establishing on the world market: “Processes...Combining and Integrating Multiple Operations into Competitive Solutions” which we introduced during INTUBE 2005 in May, the last BLMGROUP Open House. To fully support this philosophy and to meet the growing customers’ demand for customised working cells and integrated manufacturing lines, a separate ‘Production Systems Department’ has been established, dedicated to the design and supply “turnkey” machines and systems for tubular applications, based on the specific technologies and demands of the individual customer. Human resources, technological innovation, customization, on-site evaluation of customer needs and new markets are our daily routines. They determinate our decisions and make us look at the future with a positive outlook, because we work so closely with our customers sharing winning ideas and winning solutions.
