The quality of the product, seen as its exact correspondence to the specifications of the client, grows out of the typical “savoir-faire” of the technical entrepreneur of Lecco, who disposes of his own know-how acquired in dialoguing with the market but also and above all in the strong inter-relations operating within the district.

Lecco’s enterprises are concentrated on a number of key activities, externalising the secondary processes. This has ensured greater ability to control the internal production processes, together with greater flexibility of response to the oscillations of demand.

But above all, this specialisation has led to a progressive evolution of the types of products manufactured: the companies operating in the district have largely abandoned standardised and technologically less complex products, concentrating more on products with a higher added value and technological content.

The companies thus satisfy growing demands for products of high quality, functional to the specific needs of the clients. This relationship of productive exchange on order often becomes a relationship of reciprocal collaboration and additional exchange of know-how, indispensable factors for improving the quality and originality of the product, starting from the design stages.
