Interviewed by the <strong>American weekly Newsweek<\/strong>, our <strong>President Giorgio Girondi<\/strong>, talks about UFI Filters&#8217; recent business innovations and latest technologies, which are increasingly aimed at implementing new solutions for tomorrow&#8217;s mobility, with a view to global expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The recent pandemic has undoubtedly affected the performance of the Italian economy, but recovery could be just as rapid thanks to <strong>exports<\/strong> and the <strong>push towards cleaner energy<\/strong>, so that Italy, already a leader in the manufacturing sector and one of Europe&#8217;s leading exporters, is rapidly emerging as the EU&#8217;s biggest economic success story.<\/p>\n<p>A key player in this success is also UFI Filters, which has seen its turnover double in the last 10 years, as President Giorgio Girondi says, &#8220;UFI Filters&#8217; turnover was about $2.5 million&#8221; when Girondi took over; &#8220;now it&#8217;s close to $500 million&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>One area that could see strong growth in the near future is the automotive sector, given the global rise in electric vehicles. UFI Filters has long been ready to meet the new challenges of the changing global market, producing key technologies for the <strong>thermal management of electric vehicles<\/strong>, such as <strong>heat exchangers<\/strong>, <strong>battery coolers<\/strong> and <strong>battery chillers<\/strong>. Not only electric, UFI Filters is also at the forefront in the development of filtration technologies for fuel cells, for the production of clean energy from hydrogen.<\/p>\n<p>An Italian success story in the world, to be read in the dedicated article on the pages of Newsweek at the following link <a href=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/file\/462317\/italy-report-dec.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/file\/462317\/italy-report-dec.pdf<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Image Slider -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Load carousel after its images are loaded\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpreloadImages($(\"#img_slider_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e img\"), function () {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar carousel = $(\"#img_slider_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar args = {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titems: \t\t\t1,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmouseDrag:\t\ttrue,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplay:\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayTimeout:6000,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnav: \t\t\ttrue,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdots: \t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloop: \t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoHeight: \tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsmartSpeed:\t\t250,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnavText:\t\t\t[\"<span class='icon icon-arrow-left8'><\/span>\",\"<span class='icon icon-uniE708'><\/span>\"],\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tslideBy: \t\t1,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnavRewind: \t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trtl: \t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonInitialized:  \tshowCarousel_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t};\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.owlCarousel(args);\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar initital_width = carousel.css(\"width\");\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/* Refresh it for full width rows *\/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$(window).load(function(){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif(carousel.css(\"width\") != initital_width) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.trigger(\"destroy.owl.carousel\").removeClass(\"owl-carousel owl-loaded\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.find(\".owl-stage-outer\").children().unwrap();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.owlCarousel(args);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/* Show after initialized *\/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfunction showCarousel_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$(\"#img_slider_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e\").fadeTo(0,1);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$(\"#img_slider_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e .owl-item .boc_owl_lazy\").css(\"opacity\",\"1\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Image Slider :: END --><div class=\"img_slider mfp_gallery \" id=\"img_slider_b1737285d6bf4332131cb392a4dbf43e\" style=\"opacity:0;\"><div class=\"img_slider_item boc_owl_lazy\"><div class=\"pic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufifilters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/UFI-Filters-on-Newsweek-scaled.jpg\" class=\"mfp_popup_gal\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ufifilters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/UFI-Filters-on-Newsweek-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] (*) Published by Newsweek &#8211;
