The story of SEAV has deep roots, dating back to 1890, when the Lepretti family began its entrepreneurial journey with the soft drink business. Later, in the 1960s, the company shifted its focus to the production of electronic boards for musical instruments, eventually entering the world of automation in the early 1980s with the creation of the first miniaturized remote control for gates. From there, the company's path continued to grow, leading to its current status as a key player in the development of universal electronic boards. These often find applications in sectors beyond automation, such as kitchen range hoods or the agricultural industry. This year, following its integration into the group, we have worked to highlight this story, making it an integral part of our communication. To emphasize this heritage, we decided, together with management, to create an area in the company dedicated to displaying some symbolic objects of this history, such as the MOOG synthesizer and the Castelfidardo accordions, as well as to build a new showroom where the universality of SEAV's solutions can be experienced firsthand.
Within this setting, the branch meeting took place on October 23-24. It was an opportunity to discuss future plans and projects, starting from this rich history. The two-day meeting was organized to allow everyone to get to know the new headquarters and staff, while also dedicating ample time to dialogue and drafting new projects for the coming year. The third day of the meeting featured SEAV's international customers, who came to Osimo to learn about the Benincà group and experience the company's evolution, including new projects developed in collaboration with the group's technical office. On October 25, during the final day, new accessories were presented, including the METRON flashing light, the new CROMA photocell, and new transmitter designs for roller shutters and awnings.
The day concluded at an exclusive restaurant in the Conero area, where clients and branches celebrated together. The event featured the special participation of local musicians, who delighted the guests with the beautiful melodies of the accordion, now a symbolic instrument in the company's history.
