Italian translation: una fucina di idee

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:still forging ahead
Italian translation:una fucina di idee

English to Italian translations [PRO]
Marketing - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / heading of a section on company's annual turnover
English term or phrase: still forging ahead
Full sentence: "Half a century on and XXXX is still forging ahead".

Trying to come up with the best solution in Italian for a marketing brochure for a workholding manufacturer... the literal "Mezzo secolo piu' tardi/dopo XXXX procede /continua ancora spedita" is not 'snappy' enough... if someone can come up with anything better I would be grateful!

Again, thank you, grazie 1000!

una fucina di idee
Explanation:
Trattandosi di workholding e del gioco forge/forge ahead, perchè non mantenere l'immagine anche in italiano?

Eccoti qualche altro spunto:
Una fucina di idee/All'avanguardia/In continua evoluzione da oltre cinquant'anni
Cinquant'anni a servizio dell'innovazione

Thank you Babsita, in the end I went for 'e' ancora all'avanguardia' given the register of the text in the origina.
