Luciano Salda – President

I was born in Bazzano 16th May 1942; I am married to Carla and I have a daughter, Elena.
I began as an apprentice in the early ‘60s in Bazzano in a mechanical workshop. After having covered several operational roles, such as miller, turner and assembler, in 1965 I joined Automac SpA (Gruppo Fabbri) in Vignola. Within this company, I professionally grew a lot and, after few years, I decided to start my own business, founding CMS in 1975. The first customer was precisely Gruppo Fabbri, which commissioned me the first activities. From there, the company’s growth started. To pursue my industrial project, I then founded other companies, which over time set up CMS Group.
I have always stood out because of my perseverance in reaching challenging goals, an energy that has turned a small workshop with five employees into a leading industrial group in mechanical constructions. However, my actual distinctive trait is the innovative power, which is also expressed in my many patents as well as my innovative products that also take into account environmental problems.
