A unique district on the national level, consisting of 3,500 companies, most of which are of small or medium size: this is the extraordinary consistency of the fabric of companies that, in the territory of Lecco, operate in the field of processing metals and producing machinery. It is district that, by tradition and specialisation, possesses a precise and consolidated image of competitivity also on foreign markets.

The technical reliability, the quality of the production and processes performed, the high capacity to innovate both products and processes, a specialisation pursued into the niche markets: around these elements the metallurgical and mechanical industries of Lecco have built their success. It is a success that considers the two most important features in its approach to clients flexibility and problem-solving capability.

It is a system that is articulated among lean, dynamic companies characterised by a production model based on division of the production process and a dense network of inter-company relationships that intersect the difference areas dialectically.

Open to the challenges of international markets and oriented toward constant innovation of production processes, the small and medium metallurgical and mechanical industries of Lecco can boast of their high performance in terms of productivity increments, added value, profits and employment.
