David Rota works in the small family mechanical workshop in the province of Bergamo in Italy. He is engaged as an operator specialized in turning and milling, entering for the first time in close contact with machine tools. During these years, he developed a strong passion for machinery that he uses daily, mainly lathes and milling machines. Fascinated by the machinery with which he works he follows with particular attention the important technological evolution that crosses the entire metalworking sector in those years.
The passion for machine tools combined with the interest in technological aspects related to industrial production push David Rota to start the career in the field of representation of major international manufacturers of machine tools. This experience will lead David Rota to get in touch with most of the metalworking realities of Northern Italy, strengthening and refining his passion for this sector more and more.
Digital technology and internet are increasingly present and protagonists in people's everyday lives. David Rota with extreme foresight immediately understood the potential of the network if exploited as the main commercial platform for the sale and promotion of used machine tools. He found, therefore, Industrialbuyer company focused on the commercialization through the web of used machine tools throughout Italy. Within a very short time Industrialbuyer established itself as a leading company in Italy in the sale of used machine tools.
David Rota after 12 years of Industrialbuyer experience meets his future partner and co-founder of Makinate Diego Sforza. Diego Sforza boasts excellent experiences abroad in the international trade of industrial plants, both new and used, and he is extremely attentive to the digital world and to the industrial supply networks that exploit the web platform. Immediately between the two, a fruitful collaboration is born and matures over time. Diego and David immediately think about how to target the successful business model of Industrialbuyer on a global scale. Therefore, transferring it from the Italian national market and adapting it to the rest of the world with particular preference for the European market. Makinate is born.
