Aris Montorsi

At IXON, we believe that our people are at the heart of everything we do. Each month, we connect with one of our team members to share their story, passion and experiences working at IXON.

In this edition of our Employee Spotlight, we sat down with Aris Montorsi, Account manager Italy, to learn more about his role, what inspires him, and what it’s like to be part of the IXON team. 

What did you do before joining IXON?

Aris: “Before IXON, I spent seven years as a spare parts purchasing manager in the ceramic tile industry. It's a very traditional field, solid but honestly quite static. I've been a tech and automation enthusiast forever, so after a while I felt the need to move into something that truly evolves. When I discovered IXON and saw that they were building something genuinely innovative, the decision was a no-brainer.

What do you do at IXON, and what do you enjoy most about your job?

"I'm an Account Manager for Italy, i work with OEM machine builders and system integrators, helping them get the most out of IXON and making sure they stay happy. What I love is the variety: one day I'm deep in conversation with a packaging machine builder, the next with a food processing plant or an oil & gas equipment manufacturer. Every company brings different problems, different people, different ways of thinking. No two meetings are alike!"


What accomplishment are you most proud of at IXON?

"I believe strongly in Team Italy. My personal accomplishments wouldn't exist without the group. That said, a moment that really stuck with me happened at SPS: some of the people who came to our stand weren't just customers anymore, they'd become genuine collaborators. That kind of relationship doesn't happen by chance. It means you've built trust over time, day after day, as a team. That's what makes me proud."

Aris is someone you can genuinely rely on. He keeps his word, earns your trust, and is always willing to help whenever he can.

Why do you enjoy working at IXON?

"For me, it’s the people that make IXON special. Whenever i talk with our Dutch colleagues they never feel distant. They’re not just coworkers in another country, they’re members of the same team! Beyond that, i love that your voice truly counts here. Ideas and opinions get taken seriously, no matter your role. The sense of belonging and being heard is very rare and important."

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

"My closest friends are scattered all over Italy, so we've turned online gaming into our virtual living room. It's how we stay connected. I'm also a serial tinkerer: building PCs, experimenting with home automation setups. I haven't fully automated my house yet, but give me time..."
