Passionate, creative, determined and extremely professional: these are the many women in the galaxy of companies made up of Metalcoat, Alusteel Coating, Alpine Anodizing and Aleu.
In this context, a key role is played by Cinzia Zambetti, the group’s manager constantly involved in every strategic choice and decision of the four companies.
“My professional activity in the pre-painted metals sector began more than 15 years ago, alongside my personal relationship with my husband Matteo Trombetta Cappellani.
In December 2008 we established Metalcoat, choosing a name that combined our names (Matteo’s “M” for “metal” and Cinzia’s “C” for “coat”) with our business.
From there an exciting professional adventure began that has led our galaxy of companies to become the third largest manufacturing player in the European coil coating market.”
A combination of female and male talents and skills that is the perfect mix for this entrepreneurial story of success, “Matteo and I share a very strong and collaborative professional relationship. Being both involved in companies allows us to fully understand the challenges and opportunities we face and to work together for the success of our companies. We have learned to value our different skills and points of view, thus creating a strong and complementary partnership that reflects positively on our businesses and our team.”
“What I am most passionate about my job is the constant challenge and the opportunity to innovate in such a dynamic industry as prepainted metals. I love the creativity I can express in devising innovative solutions for our customers and in guiding our people toward new goals. In addition, the opportunity to contribute to the success of companies and to create a positive impact on the market is a source of great satisfaction and motivation for me.”
Cinzia Zambetti is Chief Operating Officer of the four companies, and her skills and tasks reach as far as marketing and human resource management: “I am particularly proud of this last aspect: people and their personal and professional well-being are at the heart of our entire corporate vision. We are a group with a very strong female presence, and I consider this fact to be truly fundamental: women bring a unique perspective, sensitivity and problem-solving skills that greatly enrich our team. We also actively promote gender equality and believe that a company is stronger and more competitive when there is diversity in all its aspects, including precisely gender.”
“Women have tremendous potential and leadership skills, and they should be trusted to add value. I wish all women, whether they work in my industry or others, to persist and find the success they deserve: you should always believe in yourself and not stop fighting for your dreams!”
