Lorenzo Primultini, president of Primultini in Marano Vicentino (Vicenza), was re-elected President of Acimall, the Confindustria member association representing Italian woodworking technology manufacturers, by unanimous vote. The election was held during the general assembly on Saturday, June 24. The assembly also assigned a mandate to the new Vice Presidents nominated by Primultini: Luigi De Vito and Raphael Prati.


Luigi De Vito is the director of the Wood Machinery Division at Scm Group, after longstanding experience in Unilever and Biesse; since September 2016 he has served as Vice President at Eumabois, the European federation of national associations of wood technology companies.

Raphael Prati – Corporate Marketing & Comunications Director at Biesse Group – is an aerospace engineer. His professional career includes jobs at Decathlon, Augusta/Finmeccanica, Airbus and Scm Group; his current scope of action is the definition and deployment of strategic marketing and integrated communication plans as competitive factors.

“I am very satisfied with the team we have created”, President Primultini said. “Now Acimall is even stronger and united, guided by a board that reflects an industry where big industrial groups stand side-by-side with small and medium enterprises, typical expression of the industrial landscape of this and other made-in-Italy segments. Such collaboration and confrontation have always been instrumental in the success of our companies”.
