The week-long visits of the Italian Technology Awards winners recently concluded. An international program sponsored by ITA (Italian Trade Agency), it is part of a “Machines Italia” special project aimed at expanding the educational horizons of North American students through cross-contamination of skill-sets and knowledge transfer with a select group of Italian machinery manufacturers. For the second consecutive year, GIMAV – the Association of Italian manufacturers and suppliers of machinery, equipment and special products for glass processing – made its own contribution to the program by hosting a delegation of students in order to introduce them to the world of Italian industrial machinery for Flat and Hollow Glass processing.
The young students – from renowned universities in the US – spent a week in northern Italy, during which they attended an intensive training course at the Carlo Cattaneo University in Castellanza (Varese) dedicated to innovations and best practices in machine production. Divided into groups based on their fields of specialization, the students also visited some of the top Italian machine manufacturing com...
