Company visit to Cortinovis

The International Business class went on a company visit to Cortinovis. The plant makes machines that make power cables, telecommunication cables and steel ropes. The company visit was very interesting and educational. Cortinovis assembles the big machines in their factory in Bergamo, but they also export some work to China. There is a lot of technical work that goes into building each machine, and the company looks for new employees that have a background in civil engineering. Due to how technical their work is, the company tends to hire new recruits who have not had as much work experience so that they can teach them their process. There are many similarities between this company and American companies. Cortinovis holds themselves to a high standard of quality for each machine they make.This has enabled them to become very successful and earn the respect from their clients.
