Alongside the quality of the product, process innovation is the natural evolution of the creativity of Lecco’s entrepreneurs, their capacity to anticipate change in order to guide it.

Innovation is the result of a constant tendency to invest in technology, with the goal of increasing the reliability of the products, improving their characteristics and enhancing production capacity.

The rapid developments of technology in metal processing, connected with the application of microelectronics to production equipment, has found fertile soil in the Lecco area. The production techniques used by the companies that operate on the territory are particularly advanced from this point of view.

A significant percentage of the turnover is always invested in technological upgrades, and this confirms the attention of the district of Lecco to process innovation.

Innovation, in its many meanings, is not related to the size of the company or production facility, but is connected more to the entire mentality of the district. The companies innovate, that is, because they are part of a dynamic, extremely stimulating system that is to some extent also self-supplying.

Lecco’s small and medium enterprises, that base their competitivity on the ability to solve many problems, are motivated to propose innovative solutions because they are part of a network of suppliers that is equally motivating, oriented, in turn, toward experimentation and originality: a productive organisation that is continuously seething with ideas and does not undergo progress, but rather inspires it.
