It is with great pleasure that I welcome my appointment as CEO of Cuccolini Srl by the Company’s owner, Virto Group. When I started my cooperation with Cuccolini as a strategy consultant back in 2018, I could not imagine that about 30 months later I would have been entrusted to cover this role – moreover, during a period while the whole world is going through a great, historical change in business dynamics.
Virto-Cuccolini is undergoing a complete transformation, which these challenging times have given the advantage to come at the right moment. Not only we are reorganizing our market presence by consolidating and building upon the experience created during 30 years of sieves supplies to a wide and multifaceted range of industries; we are also doing this by constantly adapting ourselves to a new mentality, which puts change at the centre of our daily routine.
Change pushes people to measure their abilities within a different context than the usual one. This enables learning new skills and looking at reality from different perspectives. It helps to open our minds and to find a new balance, clearing out our thoughts towards what matters. Our team proved to be the right one to follow this journey and therefore, is set to let the Company grow faster than expected.
Within such a context, investment is the key. As long as trusted people are able to keep doing their daily job by tackling any issue that may arise in an unstable environment like the one we are living in, it means that a solid basis is available to look ahead and plan the immediate future. This is Virto-Cuccolini now, and we are happy to serve the market every single day of this unpredictable era.
I thank Virto Group and the Cuccolini team for their constant support and shared responsibility in going through this unbelievable challenge. I am happy to offer my 20-year long experience in Bulk Handling Industry with the aim to support the Company reaching their growth objectives.

Italy is unfortunately more frequently than not at the center of the international news for calamities.
Earthquakes, flooding, other types of disasters are emergencies that we know quite well. We are not known for being particularly good at disasters prevention, even if we seem to improve; however, we learned during the years to be particularly good at being able to recover quickly.
Virto-Cuccolini’s mindset during this unprecedented pandemic is to look for the elements that day-to-day are showing us the way forward, taking into account the specific safety and health measures we need to undergo to protect ourselves from contagion.
Virto-Cuccolini is a Company profoundly rooted into industrial production of many different sectors with its 74 years of worldwide presence. Even if this Covid-19 emergency is hitting all of us like an economic tsunami, industrial production for primary goods and to enable primary services shall go on for the sake of everyone on our planet. Food, pharmaceuticals, hygiene goods, fuel, electronics, waste management shall continue to be produced, also thanks to our sieving and screening technology, and to support our daily life as usual or even in higher quantity.
This is why we think we should not let this new, dramatic and even mind-blowing situation hinder us from thinking about solutions.
Being able to keep on supplying the necessary support in terms of machines, spare parts, assistance to these industries, even taking into account delays, obstacles to be overcome, and safety and health measures to be maintained, is a way for us not just to participate into this global emergency with our contribution; but also to rethink our job as a fundamental step to lay the track to the next future. A future about which we only know now that the very core of this emergency will accompany us for a significantly long period.
Italy is the first Country facing the highest peak of the pandemic in the Western world.
Even through the deepest pain for the deaths and the sorrow of our people, we feel the responsibility to open the way to other Countries with a resilience model that can be shared as the emergency is rising everywhere. We are not perfect, but sharing experience is the very first step to find the best solutions and keep on living. The main concept to overcome this period is responsibility, at its highest level of daily practice, and based on this we keep on building the future.
Our message in these shocking times is letting resilience pave our way. And we are here to share this.
Your Virto-Cuccolini team
Virto-Cuccolini’s site is in Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy, an area which is now under strict control by authorities in the effort to reduce contagion at its minimum.
Among our Customers are pharmaceutical, food Companies and other business producing basic necessities: we know very well that we cannot stop our production for them and their Customers.
On the contrary: we have arranged our production with smart solutions which are enabling us not only to maintain, but also to increase our support in terms of spare parts – so that primary businesses can seamlessly go on with their work.
We are also taking care of our team’s necessities by arranging smart working for employees whenever it is possible and by reorganising our production rooms accordingly.
So we are proudly remaining active and responding at our best to this unprecedented situation, knowing that whenever sieving equipment is required for main needs, Virto-Cuccolini is there at your side.
