What the Project Is About
When production grinds to a halt, a company faces a crisis. This project, rooted in precision mechanics and mechanical parts, tackles that challenge head-on. Founded in 2007 by Marco Pinalli in the province of Sondrio, Maker is not just any machinery and equipment company. It’s an innovation-driven enterprise certified as a Benefit Corporation (B Corp), with a strong commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The focus? Delivering top-notch maintenance services across industries like general, food, electrical, and automated systems. The goal is simple: keep your systems running smoothly, avoid costly downtime, and protect both the environment and the community.
Main Benefits of the Project
Here’s why this project stands out:
- Over 100 companies trusted their operations to Maker in the last year.
- Zero unexpected plant shutdowns reported recently — a testament to effective maintenance.
- Rapid spare parts production: internal workshop delivers components in less than 2 days.
- 24/7 availability through the +PLUS service, ensuring emergency support anytime.
- Certified with B Corp, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001, reflecting high standards in quality, safety, and environmental management.
Comprehensive Maintenance Services
Maintenance isn’t one-size-fits-all, and Maker gets that. The project offers three main types of maintenance services:
- Predictive Maintenance: Monitoring systems during normal operation to spot anomalies before they become failures. It’s all about foresight and prevention.
- Scheduled Maintenance: Regular check-ups—weekly, monthly, or yearly—to keep everything humming along without surprises.
- Extraordinary Maintenance: When things go wrong, quick and expert intervention is ready. Plus, consulting services help improve system performance and avoid future breakdowns.
All these services are backed by a skilled internal workshop that can repair or create custom parts, using the best traditional and CNC machines for turning and milling.
Commitment to Social and Environmental Responsibility
More than just business, this project embraces a broader mission. Maker’s B Corp certification highlights its dedication to balancing profit with purpose. Respect for human relationships, safeguarding the territory, and protecting the environment are core values. This means every action taken is measured not only by economic success but also by positive social and environmental impact. It’s a company that truly walks the talk when it comes to sustainability and ethical business practices.
Reliable Support When It Matters Most
Unexpected downtime can be a nightmare—costing up to 10 times more than planned stops. That’s why Maker’s +PLUS service is a game-changer. Available 24/7, 365 days a year, it ensures that specialized technicians are just a call away, ready to jump in during emergencies. This isn’t just about fixing problems fast; it’s about being a trusted ally for the most demanding companies, offering consulting and innovative solutions to keep systems in top shape.
