Marcello Perini at the helm of Gefran up to 2028

Gefran entered into an agreement with the current CEO, Marcello Perini, including the commitment to keep the manager at the helm of Gefran in the role of CEO until the approval of the 2028 financial statements. Perini agreed to continue to contribute to the leadership of the company at least until the agreed date. The decision to confirm Marcello Perini as CEO of the Group rewards the work done in recent years by the manager: under his leadership Gefran went on a path of continuous growth that allowed the company to achieve a record turnover of 134.4 million euros in 2022. Moreover, during the recent years, the company successfully overcame very complex issues, such as challenges related to the pandemic crisis and the supply chain discontinuities, as well as it was satisfactorily concluded the sale of the drives business to the WEG Group.

The agreement reached will therefore enable the company to consolidate the leadership and progress achieved so far, with the goal of continuing to grow in the coming years, and to seize the new opportunities that, although in a continuous changing context, the market will offer. The manager's confirmation at the helm of the Group will ensure continuity for the many development initiatives that the company is conducting about innovation and internationalization.

Through the agreement we signed, together with the parent holding company, we confirm both the trust we place in our CEO for the future development of the Group and the wisdom of the intuition we had when he was entrusted with the leadership of the company in 2020," said Giovanna and Maria Chiara Franceschetti, respectively Chairwoman of Fingefran and of Gefran. "The results we have achieved together with Mr. Perini in recent years are very satisfactory, and we believe that ensuring stability and continuity at the helm of our organization ensures consistency of strategy and execution. This is a fundamental condition for realizing the ambitious growth projects we have planned, and for which Marcello's contribution will be, as in the past, very important."
