“The future challenges of a rapidly changing world, along with the desire to continue growing, have convinced us to broaden the group of managers who have backed us constantly over the years. The aim is to make the business even more coordinated, a role-leader in its markets and additionally efficient in terms of customer care,” says Maurizio Marchesini, chairman. “Cassani is joining our team to help us become even greater, not only in terms of dimensions, but also in terms of reputation and competitiveness in the world of packaging machinery for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics; I am also expecting his contribution regarding expansion plans through extraordinary transactions.”
This appointment does not mean that the family intends to resign from the business or from its management; on the contrary, it will strengthen the family’s involvement in a new strategic role to assist customers more.
Maurizio Marchesini will be the chairman, Marco Marchesini will be the executive and production director, Valentina Marchesini will be the human resources director and Marinella Alberghini Marchesini will be the executive and organizational director. The managers will remain, too.
