I could have started this book by talking about complicated mathematical formulas and boring technicalities.
Instead, I decided to tell you my story, the story of my father and his company, because it will allow you to understand how we came up with solutions and innovations that have helped manufacturing companies all over the world.
Fear not, there will also be room for technical information.
In fact, I promise you that you’ll come across a lot of new ideas and data of vital importance for your business.
So... Why did I become an engineer?
Believe it or not, my story as an engineer started very, very early on: when I was in elementary school.
I believe it was written in my DNA. My dad was an engineer - in fact, everyone in the company always called him “The Ingegnere” - and I decided to follow in his footsteps.
It wasn’t one of those cases of myself, wanting to be a longhaired rocker rebelling against a parental figure, with my father trying to force me to take up his profession.
No, I dreamed of being an engineer.
