Industrias Guidi's 60th Anniversary

INDUSTRIAS GUIDI
Each one of the achievements of IG along the
decades had a common challenge: to make
innovation and professionalization key aspects
for the company’s expansion. Carolina Castro
explains it in this way, “Ten years ago we took the
decision of incorporating two external directors
that had previously worked in multinational
enterprises. The idea was to consolidate a
professional team bringing together the best of
the multinational experience with the flexibility
of a medium size company.”
Carlos Pan adds, “Certain management
practices if well applied to the small and medium
enterprises improve overall competitiveness,
the relation between areas and the performance
of the productive process. My job at first was to
create working groups, first, in Burzaco and then
in Zarate that could apply this practices. When
we had to start the development of IGZ in 2013
we had already attained a good performance
in IGB so that allowed us to concentrate
ourselves in the new challenge with all the
knowhow incorporated,” says Carlos Pan about
the planning of industrial management for this
decade. “One of our priorities as directors was
to train the staff members that were already
part of the IGB team. We only added some
specific functions to positions that were not
covered. One decade later the people that were
twenty years old in the company is now thirty,
that strengthened IGB`s development and
allowed fluent work in the construction of the
new plant,” says Fabian Novara to explain the
dynamic which allowed to strengthen a family
enterprise with a professionalized management.
