Piero Celli passed away peacefully, at the age of 89, in his home in Porcari, Lucca (Italy). Born on July 15, 1936, in Pontedera, in the province of Pisa, Piero Celli was one of the key figures in the history both of the A.Celli Group and, more generally, of the Italian industry of machinery for paper, tissue, and nonwoven fabric.
He and his brother Marco, together with their father Alvaro, founded in 1962 the company Officina Meccanica Alvaro Celli e Figli S.n.c. Thanks to the commitment shown by the two brothers in seeking new markets, clients, and technology suppliers, and to a relationship of respect and seriousness towards collaborators, suppliers, and customers, they contributed to making the A.Celli brand and its quality known all over the world.
“My father, before being a great entrepreneur, was a great man. A loyal, curious, and intelligent person, gifted with that spark that makes the difference. He had a lively light in his eyes, and in his heart the energy of someone who built this company with passion, vision, and a profound sense of responsibility towards people.
Today he has returned to the house of the Father, but he leaves in all of us the furrow of an extraordinary example, which shall be a source of inspiration for everyone,” declared Alessandro Celli, son of Piero and shareholder of the A.Celli Group.
Edipap Srl extends its deepest condolences to the Celli family and the entire A.Celli Group for their loss.
