MID-90s

From the mid-90s, in order to meet the increasingly demanding needs of the car manufacturers that by then were producing  in an increasingly automated way, the Cubing models had to be made in aluminum.
The change from resin to aluminium was a result of the requirement for structural stability and greater precision for the control of the elements.
Stola spa was very prepared, thanks to the new 5-axis milling machines for aluminum equipped with the most advanced numerical controls.
Luigi Gallina, Aniello Tornatore, Giorgio Braghin were the workshop team, through their experience they propose, design and create increasingly effective cubing for customers.
In parallel to having the most modern milling machines and using  the occasion of the move from Turin to Rivoli, two new Dea testing machines were added and , all the others were overhauled and updated.

For STOLA spa, cubing became one of their most important workshop activities, by then purchase requests were coming from all the car manufacturers in Europe.
The means of communication between suppliers and customers completely changed with the recent arrival of the internet , this leads Stola to decide that the technical team must be supported as soon as possible by a commercial manager.
The role would be very particular, looking for a young graduate without work experience who could speak at least four languages, was very motivated and ready to travel when-ever and where-ever required.
Tiziano Novo in 1999.The 24-year-old political science graduate, Tiziano Novo, was taken on probation in June 1997 and entered into the workshop in the Cubing Team as commercial coordinator.
The results were positive from the first months, integrating into the company fabric and also showing considerable technical interest.
Customers established a more direct contact with the Stola workshop and so the workshop staff could fully concentrate on the technical aspects.
As time passed, through dozens and dozens of trips to Europe, and Asia, this new commercial figure was decisive in finding new and increasingly important customers.
The probationary period was only a formality, coming to an end in October 1997 with his full employment.
