The purpose of this campaign is to connect the authenticity of the cables manufactured in Italy with a “love brand” as the prosecco is becoming in recent years in the U.K. A part from representing the Italian nature of the product, this campaign also wants to represent the ability to make business while promoting a brand.

 

June

 

From June 2 to June 4 La Triventa Cavi was the official sponsor and speaker at the 61st General Convention of the EUEW (European Union of Electrical Wholesalers) that took place at Forte Village, in Cagliari.
This two days convention held by the FME (the Italian National Federation of Electrical Material Wholesale Distributors) and chaired by its president, Mr. Guido Barcella, analysed a series of topics from the European macroeconomic reality of the industry, to the fast-growing e-commerce trend for electrical equipment, the Internet of the Things and much more.
La Triveneta Cavi focused on two very important topics such as the New Low Voltage Directive and on the CPR (the Construction Products Regulation) a new European directive aiming at reclassifying products according to their endurance performance to fire. Both topics were of great interest due to the significant changes of the products and of the distribution market, which will see consumers’ rights better protected in 2016 and 2017.

September

 

The Central Bank of Libya, after almost a year of difficult negotiations in approving and issuing letter of credits which enable local operators to import materials from abroad, started to release credits, thanks to the agreement for increasing the production and sale of crude oil. The Central Bank of Libya will gain more cash flow in a still very complex phase both from a political and security point of view.  For la Triveneta Cavi, Libya represented and represents an important market in North Africa, being a major player in the supply of cables for residences and houses. The Libyan market is a top priority because of the reconstruction plan that was established after months of fighting and internal war. Significant supplies will start toward the end of 2016 to our historical suppliers.
