MIRKO TELL US ABOUT THE BIRTH OF ALUSISTEMI
Alusistemi was born from a group of companies focused on aluminum trading and processing for third parties, and thanks to the skills acquired over time, it has harnessed the emerging potential, offering its own products to the market. so Alusistemi Technical Solutions was born, bringing together two product lines including the line that deals with supports for photovoltaic panels.
HOW DID YOU DEVELOP AND ESTABLISH YOURSELF ON THE NATIONAL AND FOREIGN MARKET AS A REFERENCE COMPANY IN THIS FIELD?
We were the first in Italy to try our hand at support structures for photovoltaic panel installations over 15 years ago starting with profiles for panel frames. The request was to provide mounting brackets for the various situations in which panels are mounted, from photovoltaic systems, built in factory roofs, to those for residential roofs or on land. We have harnessed our design and manufacturing skills to produce complete panel-holding structure systems, identifying special solutions and specific mounting systems. Being able to develop reliable supports where all elements are effective and durable has been a strength. Another important value of our approach to this market is the support service we provide and the customization of facilities to the characteristics of individual plants.
WHAT ARE THE STRENGTH POINTS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SERVICE IN THE DESIGN OF CUSTOM SYSTEMS LIKE YOURS?
It is essential to be close to the customer from the inquiry, to the implementation of the plant to the final testing. The supports for a photovoltaic system have an impact on the total cost of no more than 10%, but the reliability of the supports for the operation of the panels is basic; if they are not suitable, they jeopardize the operation of the entire system. From this focus on our clients comes the desire to offer personalized service with the ultimate goal of providing a system that is reliable and secure.
DOES ATTENTION TO CUSTOMER REQUESTS THEREFORE ALSO REPRESENT AN INSIGHT TO DEVELOP NEW IDEAS?
Our business is based on research and continuous development of systems to respond to an ever-changing market. Listening to our customers’ problems is one of the key areas of analysis, in addition to those related to the study of new technologies and applications.
ALUSISTEMI IS AN ENTIRELY ITALIAN COMPANY. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT MATTERS IN SUCH A SPECIALIZED AND TECHNICAL MARKET?
Made in Italy is also known around the world in cutting-edge technical fields. We are born with this attitude convinced that Italian creativity combined with technological development makes a difference. The chain of suppliers we turn to is almost all Italian (except for those products that cannot be found in Italy), in them we find the same affinities and passion in their work, this guarantees us the quality of the products.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT CONTACTS AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AS WELL?
Yes, our stakeholders also include major companies that operate globally and are involved in the construction of large photovoltaic plants in different countries. Our systems are mounted both in Europe and in the U.S. and other various areas of the world because of the experience we have gained and the reliability of our systems now recognized internationally. The market for these products is rapidly evolving and requires us to continually follow the technological transition and changes as they occur.
HOW DO YOU SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR SECTOR IN THE FUTURE?
True, it is a high-growth sector. We are part of the technological transition leading to the development of power generation from renewable sources, where energy from the sun takes the lead, along with hydro and wind. In this field, the quest for ever-improving efficiency and the large economic interests at stake means that technological evolution is very fast. With our systems we necessarily have to be ready to meet the new standards. The development of newer and newer technologies and the media we develop will be increasingly important in the future, we see signs of this every day, and our growth in recent years is the result of this now unstoppable trend.
