The
Award to the Most Oustanding Professional Trajectory, this year was
given to Nautipaints, for its clear focus on internationalization.
Toni Salom, son of nautical entrepreneurs, has achieved with a lot of
effort, constance, and creativity, that Nautipaints becomes a synonym
of excellence at an international level.
What
does this award represent to you and to this company?
For
me, obviously, it is an honor to receive the recognition from all my
workmates. To see that all my effort has been compensated, motivates
me to keep working. This means that I am doing a good work. We always
have our doubts at a certain point: if we are doing everything
correctly or taking the best decision; and this recognition, confirms
it. It is very satisfying for our company, we are a team. Without
them, I could not have obtained this recognition. It is shared, and
for all of us. And, of course, it helps us continue fighting, so that
everyday we can improve and satisfy our customers. This is the target
and the motto of NAUTIPAINTS.
According
to your experience ¿How has the yacht business changed since 1991?
From
my point of view, the yacht sector from 1991 and now, have nothing to
do. The companies and their human equipment have specialized a lot.
The market has grown enormously. For instance: the volume of
companies; but also the size of boats. In 1991, a boat of 24 meters
was a mega yacht, and nowadays it is a very common length. But the
biggest change has been the importance given to the nautical industry
as an industrial network, because before it wasn't recognized; both
for the creation of jobs and for its volume of business.
How
do you value the current situation of yachting in the Balearic?
I
think that all yachting in the Balearic has won recognition. And it
is also consolidated worldwide.
What aspects should
be improved?
In
present society, there is always something that needs to be improved.
Everything and all evolve very quickly. We have to renew ourselves,
inform us, train us constantly as the rest of the companies do. We
are a worldwide reference in all regarding repairing and maintenance
of big lenght boats. There should be more investment from the public
administration in training and specialization of workers, make
schools and training workshops always with the help of employers
because they are the ones that know the sector best. Nonetheless, I
want to say that the administration has been involved the last years,
making efforts to help us in all these aspects. It is necessary to
outstand that the international promotion through international Fairs
is starting to help us at an economical level, because being present
in all the international Fairs, as this is our case, is very
expensive. This company is an example for internationalization.
In
what sense has hepled to your company work at an international level?
Nowadays,
with social networks and globalization, internationalizing the
company is not difficult. What a company really needs, is a good
staff, that in our case has worked very hard to carry it out.
Especially, the growth of itself has made us more professional, and
we have also had to learn to work with very high quality standards to
compete worldwide.
What
difficulties have you found in the process?
Again,
the lack of help to train our workers. We have had to create our own
school to train them.
