An entrepreneur is someone who sees possibility where others see uncertainty, who dares to dream and then finds the courage to act. At the heart of entrepreneurship is a vision: a belief that, with enough determination and ingenuity, the world can be changed for the better. The ability to truly understand the world’s complexities, to sense the rhythm of global change and local nuance, is an essential gift. Equally vital is the resilience to forge a new path, assembling the right team and resources to turn ambition into reality.
Making decisions in this role is never simple. The entrepreneur must be both innovator and guardian, knowing when to push boundaries and when to strengthen foundations. It’s a delicate balance: investing in the future while safeguarding the present, relying on information that is both profound and practical. At the core lies the responsibility to distill vast data into clear insights; so that every move, every leap, is made with conviction.
Over the last decade, the role of the entrepreneur has evolved. No longer a solitary figure, the entrepreneur becomes the architect of a community, inspiring and empowering a leadership team to share the journey and the risks. But above all, entrepreneurship requires courage; the courage to leap when others hesitate, and the wisdom to recognize when the time is right. True courage is born of self-awareness, a deep understanding of your own limits and the resources at your disposal. Without this, ambition falters.
We have witnessed many who dared greatly but stumbled, simply because they did not pause to measure their strength. The entrepreneur’s greatest triumph is not in refusing to fall, but in rising with wisdom, hope, and renewed purpose, every time adversity strikes.

I’ve always believed that truly understanding a situation means experiencing it firsthand. That’s why, before making any big decision like choosing where to invest, I made it a point to travel to places like Romania, Mexico, China, and Southeast Asia myself. I wanted to get a real feel for the markets, meet people face-to-face, and judge the opportunities and challenges with my own eyes.
Of course, there have been moments when things didn’t go as planned. Our experience in China stands out: we opened a plant in 2012, full of high hopes, only to close it four years later. That taught me an invaluable lesson. While it’s good to believe in people’s promises, it’s even better to put clear safeguards in place.
The pace of change today is dizzying, and hesitation can easily mean missing out. I’ve learned just how vital it is to be present and responsive, to adapt quickly and put everything we have into building a resilient, forward-looking company. That’s what motivates me and my team every single day.

Founded in 1945 through the visionary leadership of my grandfather, Tecnostamp, initially named Triulzi & Cantoni, has undergone a remarkable transformation to become an internationally recognized leader in its sector. By the mid-1960s, it had transitioned into a joint-stock company, laying the groundwork for decades of sustained strategic growth.
Over the past fifty years, Tecnostamp’s trajectory has been defined by disciplined expansion and a forward-thinking approach. My tenure marked a pivotal chapter: we embraced globalization, spearheading major industrial investments beyond Italy, and undertook consolidations to establish a foundation of technological diversification that is now central to our identity.
Today, Tecnostamp distinguishes itself on the global stage through two fundamental strengths:
• Unparalleled technological diversification
• Comprehensive international presence
Our broad spectrum of expertise; from advanced mold design and construction to the molding of both thermoplastics and thermosets, encompasses a suite of high-value operations, including painting, metallization, specialized decoration, ultrasonic welding, assembly, and laser marking. This unique integration allows us to provide not merely molded parts, but complete, value-added subassemblies that set new industry standards.
Our commitment extends far beyond economic success. Tecnostamp is dedicated to generating positive social and environmental impact, with product quality and reliability consistently driving our processes.
As a company born from Italian entrepreneurial spirit, we remain deeply rooted in the values of integrity, honesty, and respect. These principles are reflected across all our operations, both domestic and international, enabling us to export not just products, but a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and sustainable growth. The impressive evolution of Tecnostamp stands as a testament to the power of vision, adaptability, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Never consider yourself to have reached the pinnacle; instead, cultivate the humility to recognize that growth is always possible. Encourage those around you to adopt this same philosophy, inspiring them to become ambassadors for continuous improvement.
Remember, mistakes are not setbacks but powerful opportunities for advancement. Fostering a culture that views failure as a vital ingredient for success is essential, both in professional and personal spheres.

ELITE is an initiative I encountered in 2019, committed to elevating the standards of small and medium-sized Italian enterprises. Its primary objective is to enhance the quality of these businesses; without this foundational improvement, securing interest from the financial sector in SMEs would remain challenging.
Elevating standards also enables companies to develop a clearer understanding of their true scale and limitations, which is crucial for encouraging consolidation processes; an urgent necessity in Italy’s industrial landscape. Unlike many other advanced economies, Italy’s production system is characterized by a significantly smaller average company size in terms of capital, investment, workforce, international reach, and geographic presence.
Despite being one of the world’s ten largest economies, Italy’s businesses remain fragmented. Italian entrepreneurs have historically compensated for this with remarkable adaptability, creativity, and a unique spirit of perseverance. However, as the global environment accelerates and grows more competitive, these qualities alone are no longer sufficient.
In my experience, ELITE offers immense value in several key areas. First, its leadership training programs develop managerial skills and strengthen corporate culture. Second, the networking opportunities are exceptional. By connecting entrepreneurs and managers who take responsibility for their growth, ELITE facilitates an open exchange of expertise, creating an environment where service providers and clients can collaborate efficiently and effectively.
Most importantly, when a business demonstrates strong growth potential, ELITE’s ability to convene diverse financial stakeholders becomes indispensable. It helps identify the most suitable financial instruments to support entrepreneurs in navigating challenges and realizing their ambitions.
ELITE also introduces alternative avenues to traditional financing, offering essential tools for enterprises aiming to strengthen their capital base, especially vital when standard credit channels may be limited or unavailable.
