"Next year we will bring back to Italy the production of the Vaporella Next, the iron that is currently built in China," announces Francesca Polti, CEO of the family business. "In the world of small household appliances, we are a rare thing. The reshoring plan is a direct effect of the Lombard SME's project to streamline and streamline production and logistics processes. The long-term goals are to bring to Italy other product lines currently assembled abroad to give new impetus to competitiveness and Made in Italy. As for the Vaporella Next line, the industrial cost of the appliance produced at the plant in the Como area is about the same as that made in China considering the exchange rate effect between the renminbi and the euro in addition to transportation and logistics costs. "In return we will be more flexible and faster and without considering the greater added value of the Made in Italy product," the CEO reiterates. This production rapprochement project will help reduce the environmental impact that transportation from the Far East implies for long distances of goods.
