Multidisciplinarity is one of the strong points of Itemalab: it makes possible to offer transversal solutions and a significant added value in terms of innovation, sustainability, digitalisation and system engineering, by transferring the know-how gained in the textile machinery world to other sectors”, Lorenzo Minelli, general manager of Itemalab.

The evolution of Itemalab confirms the traditional innovation drive of Itema Group. “The board of directors supports the strategic move of Itema and we share the same vision. As an entrepreneur, I firmly believe that today the way forward is that of teamwork, where collaboration and synergy of skills are the fundamental ingredients for growing in your sector and seizing possible opportunities in many others. As RadiciGroup, a few months ago we launched Radici InNova, a consortium company that aims at combining research and innovation activities across the Group's business areas by comparing and opening up to firms, universities and external public and private research centres. Itemalab heads in this direction too, tackling complex projects and addressing cross-cutting initiatives that alone would be difficult even to imagine,” Angelo Radici, on behalf of the board said in the release.
