On the occasion of World Mental Health Day on October 10, we are pleased to share the conclusion of a training program on psychological wellbeing in the workplace, carried out in collaboration with Mindwork – Wellbeing in progress.
At our Saronno headquarters, the second edition of Mental Well-being Expert took place, with the participation of our People Manager, Chiara Cavicchia.
Two days led by Dr. Lorenza Pastore, filled with discussions, practical tools, and reflections on the strategic role of HR professionals in fostering healthier and more sustainable work environments.
Many thanks to Mindwork for the collaboration and to all the companies that shared this experience with us! 💙

The company relay featured a special course, including running, “walk-the-ball,” and “kick-the-ball,” with 9 teams of 3 participants competing, for a total of 60 participants including colleagues and their families.
We also had moments dedicated to the little ones with the kids’ final race, awards for the winners, and, of course, a convivial closing with drinks, pizza, and music!
Winners:
🥇 Francesco Colombo, Emanuele Russo, Sara Cozzi
🥈 Cristina Ferro, Gabriele Casonato, Lorenzo Lualdi

On the Road with SPII: Stories from Tour 3https://www.spii.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/ok3.jpeg12001600SpiiSpiihttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3895a2bab0a50eb2964d87f4fe736a45f9970281e91c5f5ef564898ce8ab842?s=96&d=mm&r=g
From Italy to the Industrial Heart of Europe
With Tour 3, our road journey has reached its final chapter. After travelling through France, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, and the Alpine regions, this time we headed towards a route that combines industrial tradition with technological innovation — from Italy to Austria and Germany.
Our van, faithful companion at every stop, was once again fitted with a carefully curated selection of our most representative human–machine interface components: master controllers, displays, terminal blocks, a footrest, and a disconnector. Not just items to showcase, but tangible invitations to interact.
As in every roadshow, we didn’t just bring technology with us — we brought conversations. Our goal was clear: to close this cycle of tours by meeting the people who make mobility happen every day, listening to their needs, and sharing visions for the future.
Stop by Stop
Alstom – Wien The Austrian capital welcomed us at one of the most significant production hubs in the railway sector. At Alstom Wien, we found a team open to discussion, with a technical and strategic exchange that touched on innovation, ergonomics, and system integration.
Siemens – Erlangen Continuing into Bavaria, Erlangen offered us the chance to engage with one of the leading excellence centres in railway technology. Discussions focused on how interface design can enhance day-to-day operational experience while meeting ever-higher standards.
Stadler – Chemnitz In Chemnitz, in the heart of Saxony, we met a dynamic and forward-looking team. The dialogue was rich with insights on how to adapt human–machine solutions to complex and diverse operational contexts, balancing reliability with innovation.
Alstom – Mannheim Our final stop — but by no means the least important. In Mannheim, surrounded by a long-standing industrial tradition, we wrapped up the journey with an in-depth conversation on the role of ergonomics and usability in driver’s cabins, with a focus on the added value that real-world experience can bring to design.
The Meaning of This Third Tour
Tour 3 was not just another series of visits, but the closing chapter of a journey that, over three tours, crossed 7 countries — France, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy — with over 15 stops. We travelled to meet those who, every day, turn technology and design into trains that connect people and places.
Thanks to the dedication of the team on this final tour — Valerio Malfatto, Emiliano Grandi, Valentina Marrese, Paolo Casoretti, and Daniele Riva — we ended the 2025 Roadshow just as we started it: with energy, curiosity, and the desire to build genuine connections.
The road, for us, does not end here. The 2025 Roadshow chapter may be closed, but the journey of innovation continues — wherever we can.
Before the summer break, we came together for our annual Summer Gathering, marking the end of the first half of the year.
CEO Silvio Zuffetti and CSO Sergio Maria Vaccarini reflected on the achievements so far and outlined future goals, while Chairman of the Board Roberto Foiadelli reinforced their messages, highlighting the value of teamwork.
A special moment was the recognition of long-serving colleagues, honored with symbolic gifts presented by President Foiadelli and People Manager Chiara Cavicchia.
This year, we proudly celebrated colleagues who reached 10 and even 30 years of service, a testament to their dedication and to the strong sense of belonging that defines our company.
Heartfelt thanks to all the colleagues who helped organize and make the event a success!

Fire safety training? Checked. 🔥https://www.spii.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/yes-scaled.jpeg25601983SpiiSpiihttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3895a2bab0a50eb2964d87f4fe736a45f9970281e91c5f5ef564898ce8ab842?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Part of our team took part in a hands-on fire safety training session, in collaboration with our partner 𝐒.𝐑. 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞, whom we sincerely thank.
From learning how to properly use extinguishers to practicing real-life fire suppression techniques, it was a valuable opportunity to boost our readiness and response skills.
Safety always comes first and being prepared makes all the difference.
Small in Scale, Big in Meaninghttps://www.spii.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/MSMEs-2025.png940788SpiiSpiihttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3895a2bab0a50eb2964d87f4fe736a45f9970281e91c5f5ef564898ce8ab842?s=96&d=mm&r=g
