The founders. Two backgrounds united into one mission.
Emanuele Scappini is a second generation kiln commissioning engineer. He received his education at the Technology Institute of Perugia, Italy. He specialized in automation, control systems and combustion technology.

After many years of experience in designing and assembling automatic control panels for a major Italian kiln manufacturer (Forni Ficola), Emanuele founded KTS in 2011.
Mauro Iovine is a citizen of the world. After specializing in economics and accounting in high school, he graduated in foreign languages at the University of Perugia, Italy. Scholarships offering the opportunity to study in various European countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Germany) during university, and the knowledge of 5 languages, paved the way towards a career with deep, wide-reaching international connections. After many years working as sales and export manager for a major Italian kiln manufacturer (Forni Ficola), Mauro founded I.M.International in 2012.
Customer satisfaction. A common goal in the creation of a new company.
Mauro and Emanuele have been working in the same field for more than 15 years and dealing with customers all over the world.
