Treviso, October 21, 2025 — The PYMES Forum offered Latin American delegations a concrete experience of learning about and interacting with the Veneto production system, thanks to a series of themed company visits that allowed them to explore local business models and innovation.
I would like to thank all the companies that welcomed the Latin American delegates, offering them the opportunity to learn firsthand about the quality, tradition, and innovation that characterize our products- said Mario Pozza, President of the Treviso-Belluno|Dolomiti Chamber of Commerce and Assocamerestero. With this spirit of collaboration and openness, with this business dialogue that tells its story and listens to its interlocutors, Veneto presents itself to the world as a dynamic, competitive region capable of building solid and lasting relationships, of always looking at new markets as new challenges and opportunities.
The visits were divided into four strategic sectors — Agribusiness, Mechanics, Biotechnology, and Cycling — with the aim of promoting the excellence that represents the strength and variety of the Veneto economy.
In the group dedicated to Agribusiness, participants visited Dersut Caffè in Conegliano, Fraccaro Spumadoro in Castelfranco Veneto, where a light lunch was offered, Da Re – Bibanesi in Zoppè di San Vendemiano, and Acqua Minerale San Benedetto in Scorzè. This tour showcased the ability of Veneto-based companies to combine traditional craftsmanship, sustainability, and an international outlook.
We would like to thank the Treviso-Belluno Chamber of Commerce, and in particular its President Mario Pozza, for this opportunity– said Lara Caballini, CEO of Dersut Caffè–which allows us to showcase our company, which is both historic and innovative. Our company was founded in 1947, so we have a long tradition behind us, but today we have a new look, thanks to our new headquarters, which opened in May 2025. We are very proud to welcome such knowledgeable and experienced people in the sector to our company. It is a valuable opportunity for discussion and growth for all of us.
It is a great honor for us to host foreign delegations and show them up close how Made in Italy products are made and what we actually export-comments Fraccaro CEO Paolo Pietrobon.-Behind every Italian product of excellence there is a history and tradition that has been handed down over time. It is a privilege to welcome the Forum Pymes delegation. Latin America is a very valuable market for us: every year we export numerous panettone cakes, a product that is highly appreciated for its origin and for what it represents in terms of authentic Italian manufacturing.
The Mechanics group had the opportunity to visit Granzotto in Susegana, Maschio Gaspardo in Campodarsego, with a convivial moment, and SIPA in Vittorio Veneto, companies that symbolize the technology and precision that distinguish Venetian manufacturing.
The biotechnology group visited ILSA in Arzignano, Tecnozoo in Torreselle di Piombino Dese, and Labomar in Istrana, three companies that demonstrate the value of innovation applied to nutrition, well-being, and scientific research.
Finally, the cycling group discovered three iconic names in Italian manufacturing: Selle Royal in Vicenza, Selle Montegrappa F.lli Baggio in Ramon di Loria, and Wilier Triestina in Rossano Veneto, an itinerary that showcased the passion, design, and technology that make Veneto a global benchmark for the bicycle industry.
The visits ended with great enthusiasm and the awareness of having laid the foundations for new commercial and technological collaborations between Veneto SMEs and Latin American partners, promoting direct and constructive dialogue between businesses and territories.
