Valeria Tirelli is CEO of Aidro Hydraulics & 3D Printing, an Italian company that is excelling for the introduction of additive manufacturing in hydraulics. She manages with enthusiasm the enterprise founded by her father almost 40 years ago, which is specialized in the design and production of valves, manifolds and fluid power systems. A few years ago, she was amazed by the potentiality of metal additive manufacturing, and decided to invest in this technology, creating a dedicated department in her company, alongside the traditional manufacturing. 

Valeria is promoting the adoption of AM in the valves industry, participating also in international groups for the definition of guidelines and standard in the Oil & Gas applications, such as API 20S and DNV GL.
