We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the Jekko Academy, a dedicated space designed to provide comprehensive training and insights into our range of cranes. Located conveniently near the Jekko headquarters, the Academy is set to become a pivotal resource for our dealers and customers. To mark this significant milestone, we hosted a grand opening event attended by a distinguished delegation of dealers from Austria – Kogler, Switzerland – Fassi Schweiz, and Jekko Deutschland. This gathering provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the many advantages of using Jekko mini cranes. The event primarily focused on our latest models, the SPX328 and JF235, highlighting their advanced technical features and suitability for the crane rental industry. These state-of-the-art cranes offer unparalleled versatility and efficiency, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of our clients. We are excited about the future of the Jekko Academy and look forward to welcoming many more of our partners for training sessions and collaborative events.

Colle Umberto – Jekko, a leader in the mini crane and lifting sector, has launched an innovative corporate welfare program dedicated to the prevention and counteraction of gender-based violence. This initiative involved 27 department heads, including both workers and employees, in a predominantly male environment with a significant female presence. Promotion of a Culture of Respect – Under the leadership of CEO Diego Tomasella, Jekko collaborated with the Itaca Cooperative to develop a training program that promotes a culture of respect and equal opportunities. The training sessions, conducted by expert counselors and pedagogues, were preceded by anonymous questionnaires to better understand the gender dynamics within the company. Positive Results and Future Commitments – The training program received positive feedback from participants, confirming the achievement of the set objectives. An important outcome was the creation of the “Stalking and Psychological Violence Handbook” an official document distributed to all employees to promote good corporate practices. A Commitment to Human Sustainability – Jekko’s initiative emphasized the importance of investing in human well-being as an integral part of corporate sustainability. “In our historical and cultural context, it is essential to highlight positive contributions that promote equal opportunities and respect” stated Diego Tomasella. Jekko has distinguished itself for its innovative approach to corporate welfare, demonstrating that investing in the well-being of workers is equivalent to investing in the future of the company.

An excellent achievement for the 1^A and 3^C classes of Tiziano Vecellio Middle School in Colle Umberto, who placed 4th in the finals of the “Matematica per Tutti” (Mathematics for All) competition held on May 17 and 18, 2024, in Rome. Jekko, a supporter of the Colle Umberto team, proudly shares this success, which proves the determination and team spirit of these young students. Jekko wishes to encourage young minds to aim higher, not only in the academic field but also in everyday life, gaining essential experiences for their growth and future. The “Matematica per Tutti” competition, organized by the ToKalon association in collaboration with the board game company CreativaMente, was born from the desire to make mathematics accessible to everyone. The event aims to engage young people through games designed to stimulate and strengthen students’ mathematical and logical skills, including those who do not particularly enjoy the subject. We want to congratulate the students for their dedication and for competing successfully, achieving 4th place in a competition that saw participation from schools all over Italy. This result is a testament to their hard work and constant commitment, and it represents a great source of pride for the entire school community. Keep up the good work, young mathematicians, the future is in your hands!
