In a year marked by global economic challenges, LUP di Bailotti stands out for its resilience, despite experiencing a slight dip in performance. We spoke with the company’s CEO, Mauro Bailotti, recently certified as an Innovation Manager and actively involved in adopting cutting-edge technologies, including generative AI.
Interviewer: In such a challenging context for the industry, how would you evaluate LUP di Bailotti’s performance in 2024?
Mauro: It has indeed been a challenging year. Although we had prepared to face market difficulties, we experienced a slight decline compared to last year’s results. However, we managed to mitigate the impact of these challenges through prudent resource management and targeted strategic decisions. This demonstrates our ability to adapt to unstable conditions while maintaining the trust of our customers and stakeholders.
Interviewer: What do you think had the most impact on the company’s performance this year?

Nonetheless, we offset these challenges by accelerating digitalization and innovation projects, which are beginning to yield positive returns.

Mauro: Absolutely. Last year, I earned my certification as an Innovation Manager, a recognition that underscores our company’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve. Furthermore, I completed a specialized course on generative artificial intelligence, one of the most promising technologies for the future. We are already experimenting with generative AI solutions to optimize internal processes and enhance the customer experience. This is just the beginning of a journey that will see us integrate these technologies more deeply.
Interviewer: Looking ahead, what are LUP di Bailotti’s strategic priorities?
Mauro: We are focusing on two main directions: sustainability and technological innovation. On the sustainability front, we are developing new solutions to reduce the environmental impact of our products and processes. In terms of technology, artificial intelligence will be at the center of our initiatives. We plan to invest further in staff training and establish partnerships with tech companies to accelerate our digital transformation.
Interviewer: What is your vision for the future of LUP di Bailotti?
Mauro: My vision is clear: we aim to become a benchmark in our industry not only for the quality of our products but also for our ability to anticipate trends. Our goal is to create a company that continuously evolves, balancing stability and innovation. I believe this is the right path to face future challenges.
As the interview concludes, a picture emerges of a company that, despite difficulties, is forward-looking and ready to seize opportunities offered by technology. Combining skilled leadership, targeted investments, and attention to emerging trends, LUP di Bailotti could serve as a model of resilience and innovation during times of crisis.
