The Rhythm of the Line, the Pace of Life: Stories of Working Mothers
Voices from our place
There is an invisible line between the rhythm of a production line and that of a family. It is marked by schedules, routines, and last-minute solutions. Tying it all together are the women and mothers who punch the clock every day in the workshop and the warehouse.
We gave a voice to four of them. They tell us that motherhood is not a hurdle, but a training ground for growth—even in the workplace.
Altomare: Head of Line 2 and mother of Kevin (11)
The desk of Altomare, Head of Line 2, tells the story of two worlds. Tucked between the monitors, a drawing by her son Kevin serves as a daily reminder of what is built outside the company walls.
Being proud and satisfied with her work has also helped her to be honest during the most difficult moments, when the separation between mother and child gives way to sadness.
For her, motherhood is a trainingground for operationalefficiency: she has learned to solve the problem before the gear stops, bringing the listening skills and firmness needed at home.
“I always tell my son the truth: Mommy goes to work for you, too—for your future and for ours”.
Olha: The Resilience Strategy
Working in production for three years in hoodfinishing, Olha has learned that quality work is also born from peace of mind. She built a support network by relying on a babysitter to manage familylogistics. This balance made her realize an important truth:
Family doesn’t stop you from working: in fact, it’s an added value because you feel more fulfilled when you manage to handle both things well together..
Angela: The Added Gift of Motherhood
In the warehouse, checking part codes leaves no room for distraction, and Angela, dedicated to this daily task, discovered that the birth of her daughter brought a new resource: calmness. Returning to work saw her transformed, with a new ability to weigh stress and priorities, becoming a more centered professional:
Since becoming a mother, I’ve calmed down; it has changed me a lot. I used to be much more nervous, but now I’m more centered and peaceful at work too.
Rosa: The Value of Independence
Rosa assembles cab pre-mounts—the standard and optionalaccessories that make every machine unique for the customer. For her, living far from her roots and without the daily support of grandparents, her work at Sampierana has become a fundamental pillar: not just a paycheck, but a space for independence and personal gratification she wants to pass on to her daughter.
I hope my daughter manages to be independent, despite the challenges a woman may face. Seeing her grow up that way would be a wonderful thing for me.
Four different voices, one shared message: you can be a woman, a worker, and a mother. The strength of our line is also built on this ability to hold everything together—with hard work, pride, and an extraordinary normality.
