(Newswire.net — January 3, 2022) — With the recent release of the movie “House of Gucci” starring the American singer and actress Lady Gaga, the press has been buzzing around on the fact that to interpret her character, Patrizia Reggiani, Gaga went full method to resurface her ancestry and become a made in Italy woman on the silver screen.
Beyond the mannerisms and the cuisine, brands like Gucci, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bialetti are some examples of Italian companies that have been selling their products all over the world and enchanting consumers for their high quality and tradition. Such dominance of the “Italian quality” is also presented in other sectors of the industry like is the case of aeronautics and the company Magnaghi Aeronautica Spa (MA Group).
Specialized in design, certification, production, and subsequent marketing of landing gear systems, equipment, hydraulic and electronic systems for aerospace use, the MA Group is currently led by the Neapolitan entrepreneur Paolo Graziano. Founded in 1936, the company is keeping to these days the achievement of becoming synonymous with excellence both in Italy and in the international market. Due to these differentials, the MA Group has made partnerships with some of the most important aircraft manufacturers in the world.
One interesting and important fact is that the MA Group has only two competitors, which are both giant multinationals, whereas the Italian company is a medium-sized enterprise. So what is the secret? According to Graziano, it is exactly the “Italian resourcefulness” that helped them reach the top of the industry. “It is a quality that has made our country great in the past, which is part of our tradition and which we represent today,” says the president, who also adds that this resourcefulness combined with technical skills and technology research are also other ingredients of their success.
After all, size does not matter. As explained by Graziano, it is the very fact that the MA Group is a midsize company that allows it to maintain its agility, speed, and dynamism. “These are fundamental characteristics of today’s market, although they are foreclosed to larger companies,” he argues. What is more, it is in the midst of all these qualities that human capital rises as another decisive factor. “Technology without the competence of the technician to supervise it is useless. We not only have engineering technologies and processes that represent the state of the art in our sector, but also highly qualified technicians,” adds the president of MA Group.
Graziano shares that one of the company’s secrets is precisely this vertical conception of excellence: every single aspect of the production process, every single component has equal importance in a constant search for uncompromising quality. This says much about the fact that Magnaghi Aeronautica is a Neapolitan firm. The city where it was founded is also widely known for its great fashion tailors.
“Those who come to us come to make their own tailored ‘suit’. We develop technologies, procedures, and strategies tailored to the specific needs of our customers, where large multinationals have a highly standardized production process,” explains Graziano, who adds that it is the very ability to adapt, to find quick solutions, and to respond quickly to customer requests that make the MA Group a competitive firm.
Currently, MA Group is dedicating its efforts to join the global task force against climate change. “Committing to safeguard the planet means respecting future generations by giving them a healthy ecosystem. The MA Group Landing Green project was born from the awareness that sustainability today represents a real strategic asset as well as a fundamental element of development,” explains the president of the firm.
The project thus includes a series of initiatives aimed at improving, not only recycling, reusing, and energy-saving strategies, but also making the concept of sustainability the core of development. With their team of research and development, the MA Group is working on innovative solutions and technologies that are “as ‘green’ as possible.”
Such is the commitment that this year, in 2021, Paolo Graziano has implemented sustainability as an item in their balance sheet. “The actions we implement and the commitment linked to the environment deserve special attention that we will be happy to share with our employees and customers,” he concludes.
