Leading the way: Comerio Ercole

Busto Arsizio, Italy – Comerio Ercole recently hosted a visit by students to its headquarters as part of PMI Day Industriamoci – a national initiative to bring young people closer to the world of Italian small and medium-sized enterprises. The event "was much more than just an open day for the company," the Italian rubber machinery major explained in a report issued in December 2025:

'The visit began with a tour through the heart of the company's production activities, The students entered the assembly area, where they were given a close look at the meticulous work behind the creation of complex calendering lines and mechanical components.

Technicians explained how precision, coordination and problem-solving skills play an essential role in every phase of assembly, helping visitors to understand the level of expertise required in an industrial context.

The tour then continued in the machine tool department, where the students discovered the world of CNC machining and the importance of accuracy in the production of high-performance components.

Another significant moment of the visit was the stop to the non-woven laboratory, an area that allowed the students to see how research and innovation are fully integrated into the daily activities of Comerio Ercole.

Here they learned how testing, prototyping and material analysis contribute to the development of competitive solutions and to maintaining the company's historical leadership in the sector.

The day ended in the training room, where a virtual reality demonstration using Oculus headsets left a strong impact on the participants.

Thanks to immersive simulations, students were able to experience operational scenarios in a safe and intuitive way, discovering how digital tools are transforming industrial learning and enhancing technical training.

For many, this was one of the most memorable moments of the event and a concrete example of how traditional industry can integrate modern, future-oriented technologies.

Throughout the morning, students talked to engineers, technicians and young apprentices, asking questions and gaining a clearer view of the professional opportunities offered by the manufacturing sector.

Their curiosity, combined with the availability of the Comerio Ercole staff, created a constructive and inspiring atmosphere.

For Comerio Ercole, PMI Day represents much more than just an open day.

This edition of PMI Day 2025 not only allowed students to discover the depth and dynamism of the industrial world, but also reaffirmed the importance of creating solid links between companies and the new generations.

Helping young people to choose their future with confidence is a responsibility that Comerio Ercole is proud to assume.'
