Recently, 1,800 installers from Triveneto and Emilia Romagna have met to participate in the Convention 2006 Sonepar Club organized by the Italian subsidiaries Elettroingross and Brollo.
“TOGETHER STRONGER” has been the slogan of the evening which has brought together customers, supplier partners and special guests in a 8,300 m² pavilion of the Padova Fair with an intense programme: a cocktail with lively exchanges around the stands of the suppliers, a workshop upon Energy & the Future, a candle- lit gala dinner rounded off with a live cabaret show with famous TV comics.
The round table focussed on the impact technology has on the building and as a consequence on the role of the installer. These topics were discussed by Mark Bicknell, General Manager of Elettroingross and Brollo , René Orlandi of Schneider Italia and Mr Perin a loyal customer of Brollo. Arturo Lorenzoni a researcher at the University of Padova, specializing in “The economics of energy sources” spoke about the importance of alternative energy sources and the need to invest in energy saving solutions. The two issues, technology and energy force the entire electrical sector to innovate and invest in training. Roberto Tosetto, Councillor for Labour and Training for the Padua Province explained how in partnership with Elettroingross a pilot innovative system for bringing public sector together with the private sector had already become reality with the “Accademia Elettroingross” in 2006.
