An inspiring day that marks the beginning of a training journey in partnership with ITS Lombardia Meccatronica.

From the company presentation by Chiara Cavicchia, to the company tour led by Alberto Colombo, the students had the chance to explore our world and discover the many growth opportunities within SPII.

Thanks to Elia Zanetti, who shared his experience as a former ITS student and now part of the SPII team: a real example of how passion and education can turn into a career.

A big good luck to all the students!

Expo Ferroviaria 2025
Expo Ferroviaria 2025 2000 1545 Spii

Technology, people and territory at the service of railway innovation

We proudly took part in the twelfth edition of Expo Ferroviaria 2025, the leading B2B event in Italy for the railway industry, presenting our most innovative solutions dedicated to humanโ€“machine interfaces.

Founded in 1947, SPII has been a benchmark in the field of mechatronics applied to railway vehicles for over 70 years.
Since 2015, we have been the Center of Competence for Humanโ€“Machine Interface systems within the Schaltbau Group, combining Italian technical expertise with international know-how.

Today, we operate from two locations โ€” Saronno and Gerenzano โ€” and rely on a team of 174 people who contribute every day to the growth and innovation of the railway sector.

Innovation at the service of people

During the exhibition, we showcased our complete range of products, designed to ensure ergonomics, safety, and comfort for train drivers and railway operators.

Among the main solutions on display:

Next-generation Master Controller
Handles designed to facilitate repetitive movements and improve the driverโ€™s posture.

SIL 2 Full Screen Display
Maximum readability and information safety, without altering the external dimensions.

Earthing Switches
Solutions developed to ensure operator safety during maintenance activities.

Slim Footrest
Compact, height-adjustable, and designed to optimize space and enhance interaction with pedal controls.

Schaltbau Connectors, Contactors, and Microswitches
Complementary products that complete our technological offering.

โ€œFor us, innovation is born from people, and people grow through innovation.โ€
โ€” Silvio Zuffetti, CEO di SPII

An award that celebrates our commitment

During the event, ANIE Assifer presented us with a plaque in recognition of our long-standing contribution to the development and innovation of the railway sector.
An award that makes us proud and acknowledges our constant dedication to advancing the industry with reliable, safe, and future-oriented solutions.

Our roots at Expo Ferroviaria

At Expo Ferroviaria, we also wanted to bring a piece of our territory, sharing with guests and visitors Amaro and Amaretti di Saronno – symbols of a tradition that represents us and tells the story of our origins.

The bond with Saronno and Gerenzano is an integral part of our identity: it is from here that the ideas, energy, and passion we bring to our projects every day are born.

Looking to the future

We believe in the value of people as the driving force behind every innovation.
We continuously invest in training, safety, and wellbeing, creating a collaborative work environment that values talent and fosters each individualโ€™s creativity.

Our participation in Expo Ferroviaria 2025 was yet another confirmation of our commitment to combining technological excellence, care for human capital, and a strong connection with our territory.

We will continue to develop solutions that enhance the operational experience of train drivers, improve the efficiency of railway vehicles, and, above all, redefine the way people interact with technology.

What if updating your wardrobe could also do good?

Spiinted is our clothing and accessories swap, inspired by Vinted (but with an SPII twist).

Colleagues exchanged clothes and jewelry in great condition, and many remaining items were donated to Societร  San Vincenzo De Paoli in Saronno, supporting vulnerable families.

โœจ A special kidsโ€™ corner was also set up, with colors, stickers, and fun activities for the little ones who joined the event.

A moment of sharing and sustainability: small actions, big impact.

On the Road with SPII: Stories from Tour 3
On the Road with SPII: Stories from Tour 3 1200 1600 Spii

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 โ€” 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 humanโ€“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 didnโ€™t just bring technology with us โ€” 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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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 humanโ€“machine solutions to complex and diverse operational contexts, balancing reliability with innovation.

Alstom โ€“ Mannheim
Our final stop โ€” 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 driverโ€™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 โ€” France, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy โ€” 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 โ€” Valerio Malfatto, Emiliano Grandi, Valentina Marrese, Paolo Casoretti, and Daniele Riva โ€” 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 โ€” wherever we can.
