There is a particular energy inhabiting this place, made of glances, gestures, and words that intertwine naturally. A continuous flow that runs between people, even before it flows through cables and circuits. Roberto Zuccaro, founder and CEO of Connection, does not declare this with slogans: he lives it, he embodies it. For twenty-five years.
It all began in the late 1990s, in a garage. An idea born between two friends, the desire to build an independent professional identity, the courage—perhaps reckless, but necessary—to try. By day, they worked in a testing laboratory for machine compliance; by night, they assembled the first electrical panels. Sometimes going without sleep for days just to deliver on time. It wasn’t just dedication. It was a life choice.
Over time the path became clearer, and even if the journey was not always linear—partners changed, collaborations were recalibrated—one thing remained clear: the company must resemble the people who lead it. “It couldn’t go wrong,” Zuccaro says today, with a conviction that is not at all arrogant. It is that calm certainty that comes from those who work with method, responsibility, and passion.
Today, Connection is one of the most advanced companies in Northern Italy in the design and production of industrial electrical panels.
Two plants, located just a few meters from each other, house the serial production of small and medium-sized panels and the production of large-scale, high-power single batches, respectively. The two sites are perfectly interconnected through a digital infrastructure, with over 80 iPads provided to operators, allowing for instantaneous communication, traceability, planning, and real-time updates.
An infrastructure born from a pioneering vision: as early as 2010, Connection introduced the iPad into production, accompanied by a proprietary app developed in-house. From a simple information channel, the app evolved into a complete work tool, integrated with the ERP system, capable of distributing data, collecting feedback, reporting anomalies, and even blocking critical production steps in real time. A true silent revolution. Everything is designed to make the process fluid, safe, and replicable. It is not the product that distinguishes Connection, but the way it is made.
