Informations concerning industry in Italy.

Industry in Italy is very developed, making us one of the most industrialized countries in the world, although in the last years this primate has been lost, and our country has lost a few positions in this classification.

The reasons of this partial decline are in particular the passage to the single European currency (Euro) which hasn't been painless, especially when added to the competition of the Asiatic countries, which manufacture low cost products helped by the lower prices of man-labour. Italy remains a versatile country and our business men have all the right characteristics to go back to being competitive and winning in the peak sectors of our industry.
