Light as value: SOVIL’ s vision for 2026
Light as value: SOVIL’ s vision for 2026
2026 is a year of big change. That is the message that SOVIL, the Italian company specialising in outdoor lighting, announced during its Italy Sales Convention held at the Hotel Umbria in Attigliano( Italy). The now traditional meeting between the company and its sales network, comprising 50 sales representatives across Italy, was a valuable opportunity to reflect on the past year, set future goals and introduce upcoming innovations, which are set to drive the lighting market forward in the months ahead. The first substantial change— strongly endorsed by the Paganini family, the company’ s proprietors— centers on a deeper commitment to ethics. This choice steers SOVIL toward concrete growth and the promotion of human values, giving priority to people in its vision. Speaking at the meeting was Ms. Precious Patalano, president of the Associazione Germogli di Vita, who presented the association’ s goals and thanked Mr Paganini for his support and collaboration. She concluded by urging the company to strongly and rapidly pursue the creation of an internal code of ethics focusing on individual well-being, interpersonal relationships, and a healthy work environment. This initiative is anchored in the company’ s core values and guiding principles, such as integrity, social responsibility, respect, care, ambition and protection. The overarching goal is to ensure greater safety, comfort and support across all levels, thus benefiting employees, partners, clients, the sales network, and suppliers alike. Over the course of two days of discussions and reflections, one focused on Northern Italy and the other on the Central and Southern regions, the company’ s commitment to sustained growth came to the fore. Among the concrete initiatives, included in the investment plan for the next two years, are the recruitment of new, talented young professionals with specific skills, alongside substantial, strategic improvements to the products, infrastructure, and production. Additionally, the company has consistently introduced new products, with a particular focus on solutions designed for lighting professionals

During the convention, the new Project series and Flusso products were also unveiled and showcased. The dinner gathering, which was held in a beautiful location in the Viterbo area, served as a perfect occasion to share moments of joy and celebration, while increasing synergy between the various teams. As the evening concluded, the owners conveyed a clear and compelling message to the entire sales network, a message they wish to extend to all LUCE readers:“ The SOVIL team is ready for a 2026 driven by enthusiasm, care, and mutual respect!”: LUCE 355 / COMPANIES REPORT 9
