“Partnership with an important company like Sacmi in this new adventure is an honour and a privilege for us, as well as a great challenge for our entire group” – said Carlo Cassioli, CEO of Cassioli srl. “We’re sure that our know-how in the intralogistics sector and the experience consolidated through our Ceramics Intralogistic Division will be the perfect complement to SACMI’s expertise”.
The new venture will have a dedicated technical and commercial structure, from sales to engineering, supply chain management to production, supported by the know-how and experience of both partners.
