At the 2025 Supplier Day in Milan, #Pirelli recognized its top global suppliers for their contribution to #innovation, #digitaltransformation, #sustainability, #quality, #excellence and #service level. The event brought together 85 strategic suppliers from 21 countries, awarding the 7 ones who stood out in the past year and highlighting the importance of collaboration in achieving Pirelli’s objectives and reinforcing its leadership in the High Value segment. Innovation emerged once again as a competitive lever: from the new P Zero, designed using virtual development and artificial intelligence, to the award-winning P Zero E and the Virtual Compounder, a generative-AI tool that accelerates material innovation and improves process efficiency. Artificial intelligence is also increasingly integrated into industrial operations to enhance planning, quality, and safety. Sustainability remains at the core of Pirelli’s strategy — from the development of tyres made with over 70% bio-based and recycled materials to the electrification of production processes and the use of renewable energy across all plants, driving continuous progress toward lower emissions and greater efficiency.
