International Hi-Tech Consulting to support La.Ro.'s entry into the KEA group

The European cold forming sector gains a new industrial hub with the entry of La.Ro. s.r.l. by the KEA group. This complex operation was strategically guided by International Hi-Tech Consulting, a firm specializing in technical and commercial consulting for the fasteners and high-precision components industry.

The purposeful direction of International Hi-Tech Consulting

International Hi-Tech Consulting (IHTC), founded by Marco Pizzi, played a central role in defining and executing the agreement. With a clear industrial vision and sector-specific expertise, IHTC facilitated the dialogue between La.Ro. and the KEA group, ensuring alignment from a technical, operational, and cultural standpoint.

The advisory firm supported every phase of the project—from the initial strategic assessment to the final agreement—through an approach focused on leveraging synergies between the two organizations. IHTC’s contribution was key in ensuring management continuity, industrial sustainability, and a shared long-term vision.

Active since 2017, International Hi-Tech Consulting collaborates with major industrial players such as Nedschroef, Tramev, Doss Visual Solution, Tecnopress, and Allways Precision, providing services focused on production optimization, quality control, and internationalization.

A new European hub for cold forming is born

The integration of La.Ro. s.r.l. into the KEA group—which already includes Bonioni France and Bonioni Polska—marks a strategic step in consolidating a European platform specialized in the production of complex cold-formed components.

This move enables the group to:

• combine technical expertise and industrial resources;
• increase production and logistics capacity;
• strengthen its presence in key European markets.

A distinguishing feature of this operation is the continuity ensured by the Ghezzi family—founders of La.Ro.—who are joining the KEA holding while retaining an operational role.

Industrial vision and the value of consulting

This project demonstrates how specialized consulting can support effective integration initiatives while preserving corporate identities and fostering growth. The role of International Hi-Tech Consulting proves to be decisive not only in managing change, but also in creating long-term sustainable value.
