THE INTERVIEW
Paolo Tamburrini
Managing Director
In a market context such as the current one, what were the main challenges you faced in 2024 and what were the most important objectives achieved?
In recent years, BST, like everyone, has faced a market environment characterized by rapid changes and unexpected challenges, such as fluctuating raw material costs and supply chain management. Despite these particular conditions, the company has managed to adapt and continue to invest by extending its product portfolio, introducing new technological solutions for process control and, thanks to the inauguration of the Sesto Fiorentino production plant, the iPQ Surface surface inspection system.
What product lines are you working on that you intend to promote as a priority over the next year?
Despite consolidating its leading position in providing innovative solutions for converting, BST is very attentive to the emerging needs of its customers and develops solutions that allow them to address their main critical issues, in line with the #FORYOU campaign!
What services or activities have you planned for 2025 to engage and gain customer loyalty?
Our R&D is always looking for innovative technological solutions, such as the optimization of algorithms with AI sup-port, digitized and interconnected solutions that allow waste reduction, process optimization, operational efficiency, data tracking and the possibility of integration with third-party application systems.
ESG (environmental, social and governance sustainability) criteria are increasingly at the centre of companies’ development strategies, what are the actions you have taken in this regard?
In accordance with the growing expectations in terms of sustainability, BST has implemented numerous actions in the ESG field, adopting various interventions such as: more sustainable production practices, reducing the environmental impact of processes and products, promoting easily integrated modular technological solutions; facilitating inclusion policies, creating a work environment that enhances everyone’s skills; strengthening transparency in our operations and in the relationship with our stakeholders, improving audit and control processes.
