This partnership strengthens our industries, promotes technological innovation, and prepares the next generation of professionals for global competitiveness.” Federtec itself has grown into a dynamic hub for Italian industrial excellence. Founded in 2019 from the merger of ASSIOT, the Italian Association of Gear and Transmission Manufacturers, and ASSOFLUID, the Italian association for fluid power equipment, Federtec further expanded its reach in 2022 with the incorporation of FNDI, the National Federation of Industrial Distribution. Today, it represents companies across the mechatronic technology supply chain, supporting members with networking, specialized training, and innovation-focused projects.</span></p>
