Serena Tosa, CEO, Tosa Spa, www.tosagroup.com
The company, which focuses on stabilization and safety of loads, was started in 1979 by Serena’s father. He bought two other companies focusing on packaging systems and strapping machines (among the first companies to invent and patent the strapping head) and built them all where they now are highly skilled on producing end-of-line solutions. Upon his early departure in 2006, Serena became the CEO and continued to grow the TOSA Group and their three companies along with her brother. Serena takes pride in not only growing the company but in the bond they make with their employees.
The company produces in Italy, France and Spain. Their machines reach 115 countries and they are beginning to approach the Asian market. They are also considering opening a new subsidiary in the United States and Germany.
