Giulio Simonelli, 45, a passionate ultramarathon runner born in Coreglia (Lucca), is Futura’s new Industrial Director.

Simonelli boasts solid experience in the converting field. His working life began with Alfa, the prototype for Fabio Perini S.p.A., in the 1980s. ”Joining Futura is like coming back to my roots,” said Simonelli. “I have rediscovered that enthusiasm which only an efficient team can nurture in the long term.”

Simonelli’s task will be to optimize manufacturing, supply chain and logistics. "My aim is to achieve product standardization, to streamline the production process and consolidate the technology which already exists in Futura’s machines."
