Competence and organization are two rewarding factors for
third parties’ painters: we discussed about it with
Marco Borgolotto, manager at Colorema, a company with two
locations, the headquarters in Canzo (province of Como),
and the “branch” in Calco (province of Lecco), within the
client company of which is a service provider.
“Our company is an historic company of Como’s area:
steadily growing, the relocation was a challenge that we
have taken thanks to the trust of our customer, who as the
production site in Calco, which required a quality service
tailored to the company's production times. The decision
to install a new plant comes from the fact that we have
seen increasing the number of trips from Calco to Canzo
and vice versa, a problem that over time had become
unmanageable and economically unsustainable.
Thanks to the valuable advice of Pier Luigi Vertova,
Ripol’s local agent, the one who provides us with powder
coatings, we built the new production center and at the
same time we have implemented the branch’s plant in Cantù
in order to maintain our painted product’s quality”.
The "delocalized"
expansion is very interesting: the client company, Satech Safety Technology, that operates in security
arrangements for plants, decided to delegate all the finishing process to a subcontractor located in the same production
area: flexibility, production time’s adaptation, constant control, logistics
efficiency and competence are the reasons for this choice. Forms of close
cooperation between customer and contractor as this one are not unusual: for
example, it is quite common in overall automotive industry’s context (see VI 524/2011), less common in
other sectors.
