Emilia-Romagna entrepreneur Emanuele
Orsini on Thursday became the new head of Italy's powerful
industrial association Confindustria after being elected
president on Thursday.
Orsini, who was born in 1972 in Sassuolo, is the CEO of Sistem
Costruzioni, a firm specialized in wood construction and the
food sector.
So he does not come from a big industrial group, but one of the
small-and-medium-sized enterprises that form the backbone of the
Italian economy.
He was nominated president on April 4.
Orsini will lead Confindustria over the next four years.
Confindustria represents over 150,000 firms and over five
million workers, and 34% of Italian GDP.
