The X-tractor
We visit a 90-year-old tractor firm in northern Italy. Through innovation and careful brand acquisition, it has quietly remained an engineering powerhouse, proving the DNA of its enduring success.

We visit the Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer, one of the world’s biggest flower auctions, to meet the companies behind the scenes of this multi-billion-euro industry that handles 20 million cut flowers every day.
