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.

Building on the experiences of past editions, this year the Running Team CGM participated on Sunday, April 6th, at the starting line of the Relay Milano Marathon 2025. However, this time we decided to go all out: two teams of brave runners. The first team – composed of Eugenio, Niccolò, Clara, and Michele – was entrusted with the challenging task of battling fiercely to beat our best time, thus setting a new company record. The second team – composed of Arianna, Martina, and Ramona – was given the noble task of participating with proud and untamed adventurous spirit and completing the mission. Our champions, dressed in shining battle attire (as seen in the photos), achieved their goals with ineffable tenacity, determination, sacrifice, and camaraderie: on a beautiful sunny day, disturbed only by a persistent wind, the front-line runners finished their race in 4 hours, 14 minutes, and 35 seconds, setting a record that will be hard to surpass for future generations. As for our ladies, they completed the set course with satisfaction and unperturbed grace, and that’s more than enough to earn them the praise they deserve.

However, it’s now time to get serious for a moment, because CGM’s presence at the Relay Milano Marathon is not just for the mere enjoyment of the participants, but instead serves much greater purposes. CGM has once again committed to supporting the charitable initiatives that distinguish the event: we decided to renew our support for the third consecutive year to the Dynamo Camp Foundation, which for years has been offering free Recreational Therapy programs to children and adolescents with chronic illnesses – either in therapy or during the post-hospitalization period – to restore their self-confidence and belief in their abilities, while also improving the quality of life for their families.
The non-profit work done by the Dynamo Camp Foundation is truly commendable, and we couldn’t be prouder to contribute as much as possible to the continuation of their invaluable work, hoping it will constantly improve over time. The participation of two CGM teams should be seen in this light: a doubling of the financial contribution is proof of how essential the company believes it is to support such organizations.

In conclusion: once again, we must extend our sincerest congratulations, team! We are all very proud of you, your dedication, and the good you’ve helped bring to many children and their families: See you again in 2026, always ready at the starting blocks: ad maiora!

Hope you will enjoy reading it!

During the last year, CGM CIGIEMME S.p.A has decided to renovate and modernize its internal R&D laboratory. This is a constantly evolving department that is useful to the company for carrying out product development and control activities, sampling, compliance analysis, and other specific Research and Development activities.

The new laboratory, inaugurated in October 2024, represents an important added value for the company in terms of the technical aspect, in order to implement the quality of the service offered to customers, using suitable instrumentation and qualified professionalism. The creation of this new facility has involved the entire company from the beginning, as each unit can benefit from laboratory analyses to enhance and accredit their work. Laboratory tests are an essential method for objectively evaluating the characteristics and performance of materials and products, to verify and certify their compliance with national, international, and individual customer standards, technical specifications, rules, and requirements, in order to enable their commercialization while consistently ensuring high quality. For this purpose, the laboratory has been equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for automated analyses: this allows for a reduction in work times, but above all, greater accuracy and repeatability of results.

The decision to invest in this project was made with the aim of strengthening the attention and quality that the company dedicates to non-destructive testing products: an attention to details that CGM believes makes always the difference. This commitment, which has been carried out for some time now, focuses on enhancing our resources to identify increasingly high-performing and eco-friendly raw materials, and to develop innovative products to meet the current and future needs of our customers.

Last Friday, all CGM employees gathered in the workshop at lunchtime to share a rich aperitif with hams, pizzas and other delicacies.

All of us are grateful to the Management for having promoted this beautiful moment of aggregation among colleagues, where good food was complemented by excellent company!

Of course, our deepest thanks are also extended to Martina and Ramona, who organised the whole event magnificently.

Now all that remains is to wait for the next one…!

As per the tradition, CGM brought together all its employees for the 2024 Christmas lunch. It was an excellent opportunity to summarize what has been achieved during 2024, a year in which we have been engaged in the realization of very important and challenging projects. During the year we had the opportunity to profitably participate in numerous national and international trade fairs: in addition to the usual Control and ASNT, we had the pleasure of exhibiting at 20^th World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (WCNDT) held in Korea, and we attend for the very first time at MRO Europe.

Alongside the report of the company’s financial statements, the day was dedicated to celebrating the end of the year: we all got together for lunch in a happy and light-hearted mood, that harmonious environment that characterises our working life and has always been one of CGM’s fundamental principles.

This year also took place our traditional award ceremony for colleagues who reached 10, 20 or 30 years of militancy in the company. Another event’s highlight was the year-end lottery, with a vast selection of the prizes, where the luckiest won.

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 23th of December to the 6th of January included.

See you in 2025!

We are pleased to inform you that we have recently expanded our offer of consumables in spray version, both for magnetic particle (MT) and liquid penetrant (PT) inspection: in addition to the classic 400 ml cans – which are always available – we have added the 500 ml format for all those who need a bigger amount of product during control process. Please feel free to contact us for any requests or information.

As a complement to the consumables section of our website, we are pleased to announce the uploading of data sheets for all our PT, MT and UT products.

It is therefore possible now to consult the data sheets directly online or download comfortably in pdf format onto your computer. Under the supervision of our Laboratory Manager Lorenzo Vatri, we have revised every data sheets, making a few changes and updating the various specifications. One of the main new features is the addition of a section on the correct method of use for each product, which briefly explains how to proceed, and another in which a comparative table grouping consumables of the same family has been added to make their differences even clearer.

But that’s not all: as some of you have already noticed and experienced, we have implemented a format for requesting safety data sheets. From now on, all you have to do is fill all the fields in and send the application: we will make sure that you receive the safety data sheet as soon as possible.

We hope that our work will turn your work easier and more rapid. In conclusion: we hope this will be good news for you and, why not, useful for getting back to work in the best possible way.
