Q. Tell us about your journey as an entrepreneur and the inception of MR Components.

A. I am Alessandro Reguzzo, 51 years old and I took the bold step from employee to entrepreneur at the age of 21. It all started in 1995 when I got my first CNC lathe. At first, I worked for a few companies in the region and gradually my business grew.

Q. What led you to buy that first CNC lathe?

A. I started as an apprentice at a nearby company and discovered my passion for precision manufacturing. When I decided to go out on my own, some people thought I was crazy, but I was confident it was the right choice. I took a loan, got my first lathe, and started working in a garage with a CNC lathe. The companies I worked for quickly put their trust in me, perhaps because they saw my passion. Within three years, I already had three CNC lathes.

Q. Who supported you when you set up the company and who were your first customers?

A. My first customers were various craftsmen from the region, including some racing car builders. At first, I made spare parts for local companies, but after a while, I also found larger customers in the north of Veneto.

Q. How has your company evolved over the years?
