Stefanini: A global player back in Hannover
At HANNOVER MESSE 26, the Stefanini Group, Brazil’s leading technology company, will showcase AI solutions and position itself as a partner to manufacturers worldwide
And it is the founder himself who is making his way back to the exhibition halls. Marco Stefanini, who founded the company in 1987 in a garage, was already part of the Brazilian partner country delegation at CeBIT in 2012. At that time, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff claimed a leading role for her country in the digital transformation of the world. If there is one Brazilian company that has lived up to this claim, it is the Stefanini Group: It now employs 35,000 people in 42 countries across all five continents.
Now in Hanover, the company is presenting itself as an internationally active partner to the manufacturing industry. The Stefanini Group claims to be addressing the two most widely discussed global challenges of the moment with intelligent solutions: AI and energy.
In Hanover, the company is showcasing its comprehensive, AI-driven manufacturing solutions, which cover the broad spectrum of industrial IT—from SAP and application management to cybersecurity, infrastructure, and digital workplace services.
Transforming the entire value chain
The Stefanini Group has prepared demonstrations of no fewer than 200 use cases for AI in the industry for the trade show. “Our approach is based on decades of experience with industrial evolution. By integrating the Stefanini Group’s solutions, we offer a ‘core-to-edge’ solution that transforms the entire value chain,” says Marco Stefanini.
What may sound very strategic in the words of the founder and “Global CEO” first requires the transfer of business knowledge to the vast global market of manufacturing companies for efficient implementation. There, companies are currently under intense pressure in procurement, logistics, energy costs, and securing international markets—and not just since the war in the Middle East.
An integration engine, aiming at corporate resilience
The Stefanini Group’s long-standing presence in emerging markets, with all their ups and downs, has arguably made it ideally suited to build a comprehensive digital “consulting framework.” This includes on-site root cause analysis and the identification of specific areas for improvement, particularly in energy and operational efficiency. In its own words, the company aims to position itself “as an integration engine.”
Through an ecosystem secured by cybersecurity, the Stefanini Group aims to facilitate the necessary digital transformation and contribute to business resilience in these critical times.Gustavo Britto, Global Vice President of Stefanini Manufacturing, articulates this objective as follows: “By combining in-depth industry expertise with an AI-first mindset, we deliver end-to-end digital solutions that bridge the gap between traditional industrial processes and cutting-edge technology.”
Stefanini everywhere
Manufacturers who want to learn more about what a global player with Brazilian roots can do to modernize and minimize risks in production facilities in Bavaria, Romania, Malaysia, — and, of course, in São Paulo—should definitely visit Booth B09 in Hall 16. There, the Stefanini Group will showcase its full range of AI tools for automated decision-making and optimized production.
For those who also want to learn more about Marco Stefanini’s corporate philosophy and current worldview, we recommend two things: the upcoming interview with the founder here on our website and the “AI and Industrial Energy” panel discussion at the trade show, which Marco will personally moderate.
