With a background in industrial automation and electronics, Tommaso Bonuzzi joined Salvagnini in 1996 and began his career as a project manager. What drove him from the start was curiosity about why customers chose specific solutions and how technology could be refined to match their evolving needs. Over the years, he accumulated deep international experience, especially in Northern Europe, where he worked closely with premium manufacturers and industrial pioneers. His journey has been marked by a constant interplay between product innovation and customer value, service culture and systemic thinking. Tommaso understands that to remain competitive, an offering must evolve not just in its features, but in the values it expresses: efficiency, but also sustainability, respect for people, and long-term vision. These are the anchors of his expertise, and the coordinates he uses to navigate the ever-changing world of sheet metal processing.
I believe the sheet metal industry is standing at a crucial crossroads. It’s no longer enough to deliver precision or speed, our challenge is to deliver purpose. As an Italian manufacturer operating in a frontier market, we must stand for something more than production metrics. We must build systems that last, that respect the environment and the people who operate them, that empower businesses without compromising on ethics. In this context, I see technology not just as a tool, but as a responsibility. The machines we design help customers reduce waste, improve working conditions, and tap into new opportunities. That’s how we stay relevant. Not by choosing low-cost models, but by raising the bar. Our strength lies in our ability to listen, to adapt, and to bring forward innovation that’s not only technical, but cultural. Because the future of this industry won’t be shaped by machines alone. It will be shaped by the values we decide to embed in them.
