“The history of our company has deep roots,”<\/em> Aldo Zaffaroni explains. “We\u2019ve been active for three generations in the field of woodworking machines and related technologies. It all started when our grandfather Mario began producing traditional machines for carpentry with his brothers. Over the years, my father Aquilino joined, and we became manufacturers and exporters of machines and systems for panel cutting and folding technology. A solid foundation that my brother Andrea and I have refined, enhancing the craft and adapting it to current times.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The historical logo of Fratelli Zaffaroni Turate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n How significant was being born and growing up in a highly competitive industrial district like Lombardy? The last few years have been \u201cunusual.\u201d How was the \u201cpost-Covid\u201d three-year period? “MSR-R6”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You mentioned Industry 4.0. 2024 marked the year of 5.0. Will it impact the market? Innovation is always at the forefront, then\u2026![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.xylon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Zaffaroni-Turate-300x300.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n“It certainly had a strong impact on the development of the company, especially in the early years. Lombardy is a competitive district, rich in resources and cross-sector opportunities, thanks to the presence not only of competitors but also of numerous companies to collaborate with and customers who are a constant source of inspiration for new products and solutions. There are skilled human resources and reliable, punctual, and efficient suppliers.<\/em>
\nMoreover, our location offers logistical advantages. We have three airports that allow us to easily reach any corner of the world, and we are well-connected to Europe<\/strong>. These are factors we often take for granted, but they\u2019re not. They\u2019re positive elements that aid and support a company\u2019s growth.<\/em>
\nThis is undoubtedly a benefit for us, but not a limitation. Our territory, in fact, is the whole world, without borders. Our numbers don\u2019t and cannot refer to just one district, not even the nearest one, such as Brianza, for example\u2014a crucial district for the wood-furniture sector in Italy. Producing niche machinery and solutions, we prioritize territorial diversification.<\/em>
\nFor instance, we currently have machinery projects destined for clients in Portugal, Australia, Brazil, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and many other countries. The great satisfaction<\/em> \u2013 Aldo Zaffaroni explains \u2013 is being able to reach places where our technologies are appreciated.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.xylon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Zaffaroni-Logo-300x300.png\"){kind=logo}

\n“The 2021\u20132023 period was very positive, I\u2019d even say record-breaking. The pandemic and its long-term effects unlocked many situations that had been stagnant until then. Incentives, particularly Industry 4.0<\/strong> and the Superbonus 110%,<\/strong> provided a significant push for recovery, encouraging companies to invest in upgrading their machinery to meet market demands. Perhaps even excessively, causing a peak followed by a natural decline in 2024, for us as well as others.<\/em>
\nThe effects were similar to those observed with the implementation of the first Sabatini law. Finding the right solutions for such a complex period wasn\u2019t easy, especially considering the macroeconomic and geopolitical situations we\u2019re all familiar with.<\/em>
\nVision, attention,<\/strong> and\u2014a good dose of luck\u2014are essential to being in the right place at the right time. Our approach is fundamental, and our goal is to always improve, continue investing in expertise and ideas, and value what we\u2019ve achieved so far. We focus on product quality, which has become our calling card, especially abroad, where 90% of our revenue originates.<\/em>
\nWe\u2019re not ‘aggressive’ in sales; our goal is always to provide the customer with the right solution, meeting production needs with honesty and transparency. We don\u2019t focus on volume but on the quality of our interactions. If a client contacts us because they need our technology, it\u2019s a source of pride and a testament that our product is cutting-edge.<\/em>
\nOurs is a niche market, where growth isn\u2019t easy, but with commitment and dedication, maintaining standards and results while striving to do a bit more\u2014with rationality\u2014is possible<\/em>.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.xylon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Zaffaroni-6.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s hard to make predictions. The regulation came out only recently and is somewhat intricate<\/strong>. What we\u2019ve observed in these first few months is greater confusion and disorientation. Many companies have tried to approach it, but it\u2019s not easy to comply.<\/em>
\nOur approach to the regulation is cautious. We continue working as usual and will adapt as needed, especially based on customer requests. We haven\u2019t changed our work philosophy: we always aim to improve while focusing on important issues, such as environment, sustainability, and governance, to offer the most attractive technological solutions possible, always emphasizing innovation.<\/em>
\nI\u2019d also like to point out that, although it\u2019s not widely advertised, it\u2019s still possible to access\u2014albeit with reduced incentives compared to the past\u2014Industry 4.0<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
\n“Absolutely. The world and industry are constantly evolving, and staying updated is essential. This includes digitalization, utilizing artificial intelligence, and new tools, as well as developing new technologies and machinery, taking the time to advance ideas that might have been ‘shelved’ and delving into customer requests.<\/em>
\nToday, the key concepts are multimateriality<\/strong> and automation\u2014two clear drivers of development.<\/em>
\nSpecifically<\/em>\u00a0 \u2013 he continues \u2013 we\u2019ll soon introduce two new technologies: a profiling machine for curved panels, the ‘MSR-R6’ series, designed for manufacturing multilayer slats for beds, and a flying-saw panel cutting machine, the ‘CCM’ series, for production lines requiring in-motion panel cutting. The latter isn\u2019t exclusive to us but expands our range of solutions, offering clients increased productivity and time optimization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
