Capability to propose the right solution to customers' specific problems undoubtedly is the main competitiveness factor of the Lecco enterprises.

The fruit of an exceptional wealth of experience and technical knowledge skills, and largely shared within the district, this approach discloses a growing attention to customers' needs and a high production flexibility which avoids mass production for the sake of "custom-made" products.

Upstream, District manufacturers tend to process intermediate products. This establishes relations and constant strategic interactions between manufacturers and customers in view
of attaining ultimate original results.

Within this capability - where customers can constantly give their contributions to the design process - value added is attained, which the metal and mechanical companies in the Lecco District award their products.

At the same time, this special interaction with customers also turns into an incentive to increase product innovation, obtained by gradual changes.
