Futura, Italy, has entered its next stage of development with a new board of directors and the promotion of Piero Ceccon to CEO.

"Together with Faper Group (Italy) President Fabio Boschi, we have worked hard over the past few years to provide Futura with a strong and capable leadership, and we are now extremely happy to announce this important step in the company’s growth," said Fabio Perini, founder of Futura, who has taken the position of honorary president, with Boschi Chairman.

The Futura board is completed by Giovacchino Giurlani, head of Futura Technology & FuturaLab, and Giulio Simonelli, head of Futura Operations.

Ceccon joined Futura three years ago to head up the company’s international operations, overseeing sales of technology and the ProCare service division. During this time, the Lucca, Italy-based business has seen particularly strong growth worldwide, including numerous Andromeda line deliveries through which Futura has asserted its technical leadership in the field.

Giurlani will oversee innovation and product development, working closely with Perini and the rest of the team at FuturaLab, as he has done for many years.

Simonelli has also been instrumental in steering Futura’s path to success over the years and will continue to implement the highest operational standards.
