industry ina spirit of collaboration that starts in thedesignandproduct engineeringstageand that, combinedwith intense
researchwork, underpins a vast range of highly specialisedproducts that have achieved international recognition in each
production sector.
Components and integrated component systems, created through the interaction of mechanical engineering, hydraulics
and electronics, play an increasingly strategic role in the developmental process of the technological innovations that
