Mario created the first-ever international aluminium trade exhibition in Italy”

“I am proud of this award that valorises what we have done in our country over many years in the field of light alloys, from basic research on alloys and treatments, to application development, communication and knowledge dissemination, to the preservation of the small and medium-sized companies that have made the vitality of the aluminium value chain in Ital and Europe.” – shares Mario Conserva – “Aluminium is a fundamental material for our future, it is a protagonist for smart solutions in all fields, from automotive to construction, packaging, mechanics, furniture and design, it is a master at recycling as well as being at the centre of the ecological transition and the circular economy. I would like to share this important moment with the many colleagues I have been fortunate enough to have as collaborators over all these years of commitment; I dedicate in particular this precious recognition to the city of Brescia, where I have carried out the last 40 years of my activity in the field of aluminium, and which is one of the great hubs in Italy and Europe for the history of the development of our light metal, with great excellences that have made us famous all over the world.”
