April is here, which means it’s time for CGM’s annual event: once again, we participated in the Relay Milano Marathon, with two teams at the starting line.

The first—the “competitive” team—composed of veterans Michele and Eugenio, along with newcomers Alessandra and Andrea, set a new company record for the second consecutive year, proving that consistent participation pays off.

The second team, made up of Anna, Stefano, Niccolò, and Stefano, demonstrated their tenacity by completing the course without a hitch, standing out among the more than 16,000 participants in the race.

As usual, CGM’s participation contributed to funding charitable organizations, for a total of €2,210,766.51. This year we decided to change and we chose the non-profit organization Fra Me&Te, which is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering understanding of issues related to Eating Disorders (EDs). Through education and awareness, they seek to break down stereotypes and create an environment where people can openly and honestly address these issues, offering emotional and practical support.

No offense to our commendable colleagues, but this is the most important achievement of the entire day.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

For the third time, CGM participated in the Eco-design Award Event, organized by CONAI (National Packaging Consortium), and once again won the award for the use of recycled plastic 5 kg buckets for UT consumables, replacing those made from virgin plastic.

This important achievement, which follows those obtained in 2019 and 2022, testifies CGM’s efforts to protect and respect the environment by increasingly using eco-sustainable packaging for its products. We are particularly proud to contribute in our own little diversion to improving environmental conditions, and it is our goal to continue along this path, strengthening our collaboration with CONAI.

Also this year, before the Christmas holidays, CGM decided to bring all its employees together for the traditional Christmas lunch. As usual, the Management took the opportunity to review what had been achieved during 2025, expressing its satisfaction with everyone’s commitment to the implementation of important projects.

Once the company financial statements had been reviewed, the day continued in the best possible way: it was an opportunity to celebrate together, in the atmosphere of harmony that characterises our working life and has always been one of CGM’s fundamental principles.

This year once again took place the award ceremony for colleagues who reached 10, 20 or 30 years of militancy in the company, followed by the traditional “Christmas lottery” with various prizes to be won by the luckiest among us.

Here you can find some snapshots from the event and we wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Once again the Christmas holidays are approaching and CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A., on behalf of the Management and all its employees, would like to send best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. With the occasion, we inform you that the company will be closed from the 24th of December to the 6th of January included.

See you in 2026!

On Tuesday 4 November, we had the pleasure of welcoming volunteers from the Association of Bone Marrow Donors (ADMO) to our headquarters. They came to inform and raise awareness about their activities and the importance of registering with the Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. Through donation, it is possible to fight leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood cancers.

After a brief introduction by Dr Fabrizio Motta, in which he presented key data on transplants in Italy, Europe and worldwide and provided some basic information, Giada shared her personal experience with us, describing the process of discovering and healing her illness. It is not the right place to go into details, but it was certainly a particularly touching moment that emotionally affected everyone present: when we think for even a few moments about what it means to go through the different stages of such illnesses, not only for the person directly affected (who is not even thirty years old) but also for her whole family and loved ones, it is impossible to remain indifferent. By registering with the Donor Registry, it is possible to give hope to many people, often young men and women in the prime of their life and, sadly, many children too.

The meeting ended with a few questions for Giuseppe, the ADMO representative, who was happy to answer all our questions. However, the most important moment of the whole day took place shortly afterwards, when our younger colleagues, aged between 18 and 36 (the age limits for registering), decided to apply to become potential donors.

Beyond the many fine words that can be said, often circumstantial and saturated with rather sterile rhetoric, we believe that the gesture of our young colleagues has a much greater significance: you certainly did not do it to receive our praise, but we are all very proud of you!

Finally, a special thanks to Anna Mori, our colleague who organised the meeting. Information and awareness are the first steps towards trying to improve things: thanks to her, CGM has been able to make its contribution.

Just back from the summer holidays, we received some good news that we are pleased to share with all our followers: CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A. has obtained Ecovadis certification in the areas of the environment, labour practices and human rights.

This certification confirms our company’s commitment to constantly improving its policies on these topics, which are certainly not secondary in terms of enhancing the value of individuals and the spaces around us.

The long-awaited summer holidays are just around the corner: a chance to relax and have fun, leaving office and workshop routine behind for a few weeks.

CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A. will be closed from August 11 to August 22 included.

However, even though we will be out of office for a couple of weeks, our communication channels will remain active: any orders or requests received during this period will be processed immediately upon our return.

As usual, we would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy summer holidays with a cartoon that we hope will make you smile.

On Thursday 03 and Friday 04 April 2025, the event dedicated to the railway industry promoted and organised by the Italian Non Destructive Testing Association took place.

The two days were attended by more than 150 professionals, some of them belonging to the most important companies in the sector, such as Trenitalia, Alstom, Trenord, RFI, and Lucchini. CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A. also played its part as Gold Sponsor; our participation was recognised, appreciated and rewarded by AIPnD with a commemorative plaque.

We are pleased to share the photo of the award ceremony.
