Manta and Multitel Pagliero / Multitel Pagliero and Manta. The company’s bond with its territory – a bond that extends to Saluzzo where the company was founded in 1911 – is almost symbiotic. Its management and eight factories are spread out over a few kilometres and the majority of its staff reside in the area. Therefore, the weight that the company has on the local economy and the resulting social responsibility is inevitable. The strong growth of the last three years has increased the workforce from 337 (2021) to 551 people (2023); lowered the average age to 35 years thanks to the entry of new high-school and university graduates; increased the presence of women in all areas (11% of the total), as well as that of EU and non-EU personnel.

Today, Multitel Pagliero is a young, integrated and multicultural reality, which welcomes and grows professionals from its local area. 

The collaboration with the local Job Centres and, above all, the schools, often guests in the company, is fundamental. Among them, a few days ago, the Istituto Tecnico Superiore G. Rivoira, whose 5th year students, led by Fabio Pagliero, visited the M2, M4, M5, M6 and M7 plants. 

Manufacturing, automation, robotics, safety, service, training, platform operation, marketing and communication: the presentation of all these aspects involved managers and department heads, giving depth to the meeting. The final year students were able to meet with technicians and skilled workers who joined Multitel Pagliero after graduation and grew to occupy positions of responsibility. 

Next meeting will be at the end of May with the students of the AFP of Verzuolo (Cuneo), whose training focuses on automotive mechanics, mechatronics, welding, 3D design.
