This approach has not only led to significant growth for the company but has also had a positive impact on the surrounding territory. Italtekno is not just growing as a company; it is actively engaged in the development of local resources. Guglielmo Speciale is involved in initiatives such as the management of Zipline Sicily and the highest swing in Europe, located in the Madonie, in San Mauro Castelverde. These projects not only enhance local resources but also contribute to promoting tourism and the economy of the region.
In addition to the recognition from the Financial Times, Italtekno has received other significant awards, including the title of “Growth Leader 2025” from Sole 24 Ore and Statista, which celebrates the 500 Italian companies with the highest revenue growth. Furthermore, the company has been selected for the “Stars of the South” award in 2023 and 2024, which recognizes 200 excellence from Southern Italy for innovation, sustainability, and growth.
