Amaplast, Acimac and Ucima start a threesome cooperation project

The Presidents and Executive Committees of Amaplast (Italian Plastics and Rubber Processing Machinery and Moulds Manufactures’ Association), Acimac (Association of Italian Manufacturers of Machinery and Equipment for Ceramics), and Ucima (Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association) have implemented a new project of collaboration, aimed to further increase the quality of their services to member companies.

The project expands on synergies active between Acimac and Ucima since 2011. The resources of the three associations will be pooled to provide greater support to Members in various fields, ranging from trade fairs and technical regulations to market research, statistics, and finance.

During their annual assemblies, on July 6 and 8, 2020, respectively, Acimac and Ucima officially voted to put their management in the hands of Amaplast Director, Mario Maggiani.

“It is a great challenge for me,” commented Maggiani, “and for the staff of the collaborating associations, who will share their competencies and experience. But in a continuously evolving global context - with the pace increasing in recent months with the Covid-19 pandemic - it has become vital to achieve critical mass at all levels. This is what prompted our decision, with the goal of giving more complete and specialized services to the Member companies in the three sectors through the active pooling of consolidated professionalism.”
