Mugello Circuit, 27 October 2025 – This year, the Podio Ferrari, the event dedicated to Maranello’s suppliers and strategic partners, took place in the evocative setting of the Finali Mondiali at the Mugello circuit, underscoring the strong sense of belonging to the Ferrari community: a network that unites customers, fans, Ferrari staff, and suppliers, along with their families.
During the awards ceremony, some of the key players in an outstanding technological innovation project – the F80 – were recognised, demonstrating the value of collaboration and innovation as the foundation of long-term relationships between companies. Their contribution in terms of technology, competitiveness and innovation is a vital factor in Ferrari’s continuing success and, for the second year running, Ferrari selected 16 finalists in the six categories that reflect the company’s guiding values.
This year there were exceptionally two winners ex aequo in two categories. In the Continuous Learning category, OMR, which supplies Ferrari with its all-aluminium alloy spaceframes, was selected for having achieved superior levels of performance and high quality, while VMAX, specialists in EV solutions, was chosen for proactively supporting the launch of new Ferraris under development.
In the second of these categories, Innovation – Will to Progess , the award goes jointly to CIT Composite Materials Italy for having created the carbon fibre chassis of the F80 where different materials were skilfully combined to produce the lightest chassis with the highest static and dynamic performance in Ferrari history. Ex aequo in this category is Saint-Gobain Sekurit for having contributed, with its constant innovation in glazing systems, to offering solutions that go beyond the single component, thus adding value to the entire car, with specific reference to the F80’s windscreen and windows.
For having demonstrated flexibility, reliability and proactivity in managing a complex delivery in the context of the continuous evolution of Ferrari’s customisation programmes, the Focus award goes to Poltrona Frau, supplier of premium leather for interior trim.
The Collaboration award goes to Novelis, the world’s leading supplier of aluminium sheet to the automotive industry, for its on-going collaboration with Ferrari in the development of sustainable materials and for being the first partner to introduce the circularity of raw materials in its production processes.
Lear Corporation, a world leader in automotive seating systems, takes Ferrari’s Fearless Organisation award for having been able to put the customer at the centre, addressing a critical issue with transparency and correctness.
Finally, the Confident Humility award goes to Arcese, an important Italian shipping and logistics reality, for contributing to the process of continuous improvement and for the flexibility demonstrated in meeting new logistical challenges across the entire Ferrari ecosystem.
The awards were handed over to the representatives of all the companies by Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna, the Chief Research & Development Officer Ernesto Lasalandra, the Chief Product Development Officer Gianmaria Fulgenzi, the Chief Technologies and Infrastructures Officer Davide Abate, the Head of Quality Maria Cristina De Marco, the Chief Purchasing & Quality Officer Angelo Pesci, the Head of Direct Materials Purchasing Marco Longeri and the Head of Indirect Materials Purchasing, Mauro Falcone.
