I n this exclusive conversation with VisionPlus, Rodolfo Scatigna, General Manager of MEI Srl, and Stefano Sonzogni, President of MEI Srl, reflect on the event and their long-term strategy for India. VisionPlus: The MEI India facility has officially opened in Bangalore. How was the overall experience of the MEI India Grand Opening, and what response did you get from industry professionals during the live demos and interactions? Rodolfo Scatigna: Meeting our customers personally is part of our mission and is always a pleasure. Giving them the opportunity to meet our staff and show them directly our premises and what we can do for them is something that makes us proud. Indian professionals are very knowledgeable about lens processing. However, our machines have piqued their interest and curiosity. We can offer a variety of solutions for both high-volume industries and local eyewear suppliers. VP: Looking ahead, what are your immediate priorities for the India operation, and how do you envision MEI’s role evolving in the region over the next few years? RS: We aim to be true partners for our customers. We are starting with local parts refurbishing and tool resharpening activities, maintaining Mei's standard quality, and improving the running costs of our equipment here in India. A large stock of parts will allow for fast delivery times for tools, consumables and emergency situations. Our demo area will enable high-level training for customers' operators and maintenance teams. Remote support and field engineers based in Bangalore and Delhi are a strong asset for our company.
