INTERVIEW TO ERIC PALLANTE<\/strong><\/p>\n

When and how did you join NTS?
\n<\/strong>I joined NTS in 2001 but I have been working in the branch of plastic material molding for forty years. I have always liked this field and it has never been a burden to me to wake up early in the morning or come back home late in the evening. Often, especially in the past, I used to work on Saturdays and Sundays as well, since I have always been motivated by passion towards my job.<\/p>\n


\nWhat do you take care of today?
\n<\/strong>I am the technical and organisational manager of the thermoplastic molding department.
\nI coordinate about 15 people: I always try to establish a relationship based on dialogue and respect with my team. I believe that, in particular, it is correct to work together to create a functional and efficient working method, where everyone has to feel protagonist for a continuous improvement. It is necessary to celebrate working successes and improve one\u2019s critical areas: this is the only way to empower the individual and the team as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They say you are a perfectionist. Do you confirm it?
\n<\/strong>I believe it is fundamental to have a precise working methodology. When you are logical, organized and prepared, results appear in no time. Someone thinks I am too meticulous and I admit that the years have reinforced my perfectionist nature but making an excellent work is, most of all, a personal challenge to me. Every day I ask myself: \u201cWill I be able tomorrow to do better than I did today?\u201d
\nIn a few years I will retire and I decided to include my experience in a \u201cmanual\u201d about molding (in particular about setups), that I\u2019ll leave to NTS as concrete sign of professional continuity.
\nI wish to avoid difficulties to who will take my place, because I believe that the company\u2019s benefit\u00a0 must be put before everything.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you like in NTS?
\n<\/strong>The collaborative atmosphere, the freedom to do one\u2019s best, the pleasure to work in a family where also those belonging to the top management \u201cdirty their hands\u201d with the people in the production department. Many of us really care about the company well-being and take care of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How is the company climate in NTS?
\n<\/strong>In these years I have established solid professional relationship, in addition to sincere friendship.
\nEven though I am 56 years old, I have still have fun like a little boy when I play football with my friends-colleagues and we end up, at the end of the evening, to eat a pizza together. Simple things are those that make us feel satisfied.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you love football?
\n<\/strong>A lot. I did everything: the player in all roles, the referee, the coach till the I became president of Society Calcetto Canonica d\u2019Adda. This sport is also linked to a great regret: when I was 14 I used to play in D series as goalkeeper, I was also quite good at it. But I needed to work and nobody has ever pushed me to follow this passion that could have also become a job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you like<\/strong>\u00a0to travel in your free time?
\n<\/strong>I keep France in my heart.
\nMy mother comes from lake Endine and my father has Abruzzese origins, they got married and left Italy in the post-war period, when France required labour force from Italy.
\nI was born in a beautiful place, Mont Saint Martin, same as my brother Marc.
\nI was six years old when my parents decided to come back to Italy, a choice that I did not accept very well: I loved France and love it still. As soon as I can, I go to visit it, I have also kept the dual nationality, as proof of my loyalty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What did that experience teach you?
\n<\/strong>In France I used to live in a ghetto with people from Senegal, Tunisia, Italy. I grew up among the others and I have always integrated myself. To tell the truth, I have never felt differences. The bad thing has been when I came back to Italy and experienced racism on my skin: I was discriminated for my accent, for my clothes, even for my name that was considered too exotic. Since then, I have decided that I would have never been racist and that I would have taught my children that diversity is always an enrichment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there another passion, apart from football?
\n<\/strong>Music. I manage a 80s music band and play some instruments by ear. Nobody has ever taught me, yet I get by quite good. Music is a universal language and it transmits energy and positivity, that\u2019s why I like it so much.<\/p>\n
