He prefers test tubes to talk, and if you ask his opinion he will answer with a test. His natural habitat is the laboratory, where he arrived more than 20 years ago, practically fresh out of school, after a brief professional experience. Giorgio Magni’s task is to make sure that everything is compliant, from products to raw materials, and to take part in inspections by Italian and foreign ministries, organisations and associations. He shares a common language with all of these; quality, something that is a kind of mantra at Dox-al, considering how often it is mentioned and applied.
While it is true that the first approach in a new working environment is important, Giorgio was lucky in that he was immediately involved in a small research project lasting six months, during which he gained experience in a number of areas of the sector. He began to appreciate the spirit at Dox-al, characterised by constant improvement, and its direct consequence, a passion for innovation. These are joined by another leading concept in the field of values, safety. In this regard, Giorgio cites BMP®, the technology that also focuses on operator safety and the environment.
“In this area, Dox-al is ahead of the field – he said -, one only needs to realise that the characteristics of products subjected to BMP® treatment have also been recognised by EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, which has used them to define European safety standards”. The other advantage that, according to Giorgio, sets the company apart, is the fact that it also operates in the pharmaceutical field, where production criteria are rigorous, and regulations are extremely strict. This means that the same methods are applied to nutraceuticals, with clear benefits in terms of quality and safety.
“I have learned everything here – he sums up -, they don’t teach you how to write a production protocol at school. It is a dynamic company, always active, never still; you never get bored here”. He cites a project on baby food that involved him on various fronts, as always with a laboratory level of attention, and with interesting exchanges with end clients. All exciting, and of an almost aseptic perfection. This would be the case, if it weren’t for the episode revealed by Giorgio involving the explosion of a bottle of swine manure left improvidently in the sun by a client. At this, he smiles, without adding further details. Everyone knows he is not a fan of too many words.
