“Our journey has just begun. It isn’t merely a business trip of a few hours, nor a simple itinerary from Naples to Charlotte with a stopover in New York. It is a journey of the soul, twenty years long,” says Umberto.
“Twenty years of successes, defeats, challenges, and growth; twenty years lived as Kathrine, with the determination and passion that have always set us apart.
On this path, I have had extraordinary people by my side: colleagues, friends, and companions in adventure like Matteo, Alessandra, and many others, both inside and outside the factory. In the beginning, it was just a dream; today, it is much more. Elmeco LLC is a solid reality, composed of a five-person team working every day with commitment and dedication. This day is the synthesis of twenty years of life encapsulated in a few hours of celebration.
Today, in fact, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone reached thanks to the contribution of each and every one of us, while remembering those who are no longer with us—first and foremost Salvatore, and also figures who left a deep mark, like the legendary Palisandro. Recognizing the value of everyone’s work is the first step to building a solid community. Because ideas only materialize through facts and daily behaviors. We, through highs and lows, always keep trying, with courage, passion, and team spirit.”
“And as we celebrate this milestone,” continues Alessandra, “we realize that the years—and there have been many—have truly passed. With them, we carry many reflections on how things might have gone versus how they actually went. But it is precisely thanks to all the challenges faced, the right intuitions, and the courageous steps that we have arrived here. Thanks to those who had the foresight to look ahead and imagine what this great project called Elmeco could become. Thanks to those who understood first that being close to the American market would be a decisive strength. Thanks to all those who, every single day, have made possible what we celebrate today.”
“Today we can say with pride that Elmeco has made it in the USA. We are a recognized, respected brand with extraordinary prospects for the future. All this was possible only thanks to the commitment of every single person in the company. As the saying goes, Teamwork makes the dream work,” concludes Matteo. “For me, it is an enormous pleasure to work, learn, make mistakes, but above all, win and grow together with you. With a team like Elmeco, I can’t wait to face the next twenty years.”
