Enrico Zodio, CEO, Procos

Looking at your website, we noticed an interesting coincidence of dates: 1945 – 2025. What do they represent?
In 2025, PROCOS will celebrate a very important milestone: our 80th anniversary. Since 1945, we have experienced decades of innovation and constant growth, thanks to the tireless work and dedication of our employees and the continuous support of the CBC Group, of which we have been a part since 2006. This celebration will be characterized by a series of events and activities that will feature our partners, our friends and our employees, who are the secret of PROCOS’s success. Along with this important celebration, we also highlight the new R11 production department. This state-of-the-art facility, with 4 floors and an area of 4,000 square meters, will increase the production capacity of the entire plant to 700 m3, thanks to a total investment of approximately 80 million euros. The construction work is almost complete, and the next goal is to finalize the implementation and qualification in 2025, to be fully operational in 2026. This investment will not only create new job opportunities and contribute to the economic growth of Cameri and the surrounding cities but will also allow us to offer a more comprehensive service to our clients, both innovators and generic drug producers, ensuring sustainable access to high-quality medicines for all patients. Furthermore, we intend to expand our horizons by investing and thinking outside the box. Speaking of investments, PROCOS is always looking for new opportunities that can ensure continuous and sustainable growth. We are currently evaluating several strategic projects that will affect key areas of our business. These investments are designed to secure our future expansion, allowing us to remain competitive and continue providing innovative and high-quality solutions to our clients. Our vision is to grow not only in terms of production capacity but also in terms of skills and resources to successfully meet the challenges of the future.
Finally, 2025 will be a year of double celebrations for us. In addition to our 80th anniversary, we will also celebrate the 100th anniversary of CBC CO., LTD. Being part of a group with such a rich and prestigious history fills us with pride.

How has your year as CEO of the year been?
It has been a year of challenges but also of great satisfaction. Every success achieved is the result of teamwork, and this award, received a year ago, is a recognition that I share with all members of the PROCOS team. Receiving the “CEO of the Year” award was a great honor, but this recognition goes beyond personal success. It not only strengthens our company’s reputation but also demonstrates our commitment to excellence, innovation, and strategic partnerships.
