Why skematODAy
( )Skema has consistently evolved over the past fifteen years in terms of our global expansion, in terms of the development of our ex-perience in engineering and constructing local equipment rooms and modules, and in terms of our capability to enhance, on an on-going basis, the quality and flexibility of our switchgear solutions.

Dear All,Welcome to the first edition of Skema Today. I am very glad to keep you posted on some of the most inter-esting news concerning the day-to-day life of our business. The aim of this newsletter is to provide a more direct form of communication with our clients, partners, inter-national employees, agents and suppliers – in short, with everyone who, by working with Skema, is helping us to deliver our value proposition to the very best of our ability.
Skema has consistently evolved over the past fifteen years in terms of our global expansion, in terms of the development of our experience in engineering and con-structing local equipment rooms and modules, and in terms of our capability to en-hance, on an ongoing basis, the quality and flexibility of our switchgear solutions. The delocalisation of our operations in Kazakhstan and our history of encourag-ing “local content” are the clearest examples of the international approach we take to the work we do.
Looking to the future, I would like to point out that the approach implemented day in, day out by our management team is based on our commitment to taking on ambitious challenges, to remaining at the forefront of our industry and to supply-ing our clients with more customised and flexible solutions than that offered by the larger players operating in our industry.
I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter as much as we have enjoyed putting it together!
Best wishes,
Elisabetta CerveglieriV.P. of Business Development
