Giorgio Calculli has assumed the role of the new Managing Director of ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers. With a background in law and a Master's degree in training and employment policies, Calculli has been part of the ACIMIT team since 2006, serving as the head of the Association's training, internal relations, and technical department. 

He takes over the position previously held by Federico Pellegata, who, after 25 years at the helm of the Association, has been appointed as the CEO of ACIMIT Servizi srl. This company was established by ACIMIT to provide support services for its member companies in promoting the Italian textile machinery industry both in Italy and internationally. 

Federico Pellegata expressed his gratitude for the enriching experience he had during his tenure, extending his thanks to ACIMIT's associated members, the Board, and past presidents of the Association. 

He emphasized that his commitment to advancing the Italian textile machinery sector remains strong as CEO of ACIMIT Servizi. In this new role, he will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that ITMA, the world's leading textile machinery trade fair, continues to showcase the success of Italian manufacturers in the sector, as was evident in the 2015 and 2023 editions held in Italy. 

Giorgio Calculli, the newly appointed ACIMIT Managing Director, expressed his appreciation to the ACIMIT Board for his appointment and the opportunity to carry on the work initiated by Federico Pellegata. 

He acknowledged Pellegata's achievements, particularly at the recent ITMA event, and pledged to further expand the Association's membership base while providing maximum support to member companies in their business endeavors.
