Who is Marco Salvadé?
Born in Como in 1967, Marco Salvadé is married with two children. He began his career at Salvadé Srl, the family company specializing in the finishing machinery sector, founded by his father and uncle in 1967. After being a member of the company's board of directors, he has been President since 2021.
Marco Salvadé has long been active in the life of the association. Since 2018 he has been a Member of ACIMIT’s General Council, and since March 2023 he has been part of the Italian delegation at CEMATEX, the Committee of European Textile Machinery Associations.
Following the election of Salvadé, the General Assembly expressed its gratitude to the outgoing President, Alessandro Zucchi, who has guided the association for the past six years.
New Board Members Were Elected
Along with the New President, the General Assembly also elected its new Vice Presidents, Chiara Bonino (Bonino Carding Machines SRL), Federico Businaro (Sperotto Rimar SRL), Ugo Ghilardi (Iltema SpA) and Cristian Locatelli (Marzoli Machines Textile SRL).
Marco Salvadé’s first comments as the newly appointed ACIMIT President: “I wish to thank the Assembly for the trust they have placed in me, and I want to express my gratitude to the former President Alessandro Zucchi for everything he has done during the last six years to strengthen the role of the Association and of Italian industry on the international scene. With the new Vice-Presidents and the ACIMIT Board, I will continue the work that has been done in recent years by previous presidents. It will certainly not be a simple task, but one that will no doubt prove stimulating. My primary goal is to increase the sense of belonging to ACIMIT of its member companies, with which we share the same values, and to adjust the association's strategies to changing conditions in the economic and geopolitical context.”
