On September 28th, 2025, in the elegant setting of Palazzo Monferrato in Alessandria, the Oscar del Successo 2025 awards ceremony celebrated six figures that distinguished themselves in different fields, within the Alessandria province.
Among them, MINO’s President, Cesare Pettazzi, was awarded the prestigious prize for the Mechatronic Industry.
“We produce rolling mills since 1840, expanding globally but preserving our roots in Alessandria, where all our rolling mills are still conceived, designed, manufactured and pre-assembled. This award belongs to all the MINO team,” – said Mr. Pettazzi – “they are the true engine of our success, and I am proud of their commitment and passion.”
A recognition that connects local excellence and global presence
This award has a double meaning for us. On the one hand, it confirms that MINO is a point of reference in Alessandria and in the Piedmont region for technological excellence, innovation, and industrial development. On the other hand, it highlights our international growth, with customers, projects, and offices spread across the world.
Together with other local excellences
Alongside MINO, other leading figures were also awarded, representing HOLDIM (automotive technology), Mondo Brico (retail and DIY), the STAT Group (transportation and tourism), Telecity (broadcast journalism), and the Hospital of Alessandria (healthcare). We are proud to be part of such a dynamic and diverse network of excellence.
Thanks to institutions and partners
Our gratitude goes to the institutions and authorities that supported the event: Regione Piemonte, Confindustria Alessandria, Camera di Commercio Alessandria-Asti, Comune di Alessandria, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Alessandria, Associazione Culturale Suol d’ Aleramo and Palazzo Monferrato. Special thanks also go to the organizing committee, namely Cav. Paolo Vassallo (who conceived the prize 54 years ago!) and Prof. Renato Balduzzi (former Italian healthcare minister), as well as to Giorgio Abonante (Alessandria’s mayor) and Giampaolo Aschero (President of Alessandria’s Industry Confederation) who presented the prize to Cesare Pettazzi.
Looking ahead
Receiving the Oscar del Successo 2025 is a further motivation to keep pushing forward: designing tailor-made mechatronic plants, driving innovation and sustainability, and delivering excellence worldwide.
MINO continues to grow, proud of its local roots and of the trust gained internationally for its long list of successful projects.
