Successful through outstanding customer orientation - an example from Italy
The Klüber Lubrication sales team supports their customers around the world in a multitude of industries in their daily work. One of them is Andrea Dittadi. He is sales manager for Italy and looks after many companies in that area – some of them big international players, some of them small or medium-sized family-owned businesses. Andrea supports his customers with passion and in a variety of different industries.
One of Andrea’s customers is the ropeway of Col Rodella in the wonderful tourist area of Val di Fassa, Dolomites. Andrea explains the challenges he faces in supporting this customer.
What does “outstanding customer orientation” mean? Andrea Dittadi explains it.
Klüber Lubrication pushes the limits in what they do. And they help customers to push their own limits.
Our sales team supports their customers with being ambitious in what they strive for, outstanding in their performance and personal in their relationship to their business partners. Each sales person finds his or her individual way to accomplish this, depending on the industry and the specific needs of the customer.

Taking a short filming break on the pylon.
Climbing up the pylons is always a challenge, even when it’s not for maintenance of the cableway.
Paragliding in the Dolomites is a breathtaking experience, but pilots must decide their limits for themselves.
