Paolo Zirondoli has taken the position of Managing Director at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery (Italia) S.r.l, succeeding Roberto Sallemi, who headed the company since its foundation in 2018.
For two years, Roberto Sallemi successfully managed the Italian subsidiary of Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery GmbH.

Paolo Zirondoli takes over the management of the Italian Sumitomo (SHI) Demag subsidiary.
The company says Sallemi's commitment to the all-electric machine series in Italy made a decisive contribution to the consolidation of the national market presence.
In addition, he remains associated with the German-Japanese manufacturer of injection moulding machines, the long-standing owner of the former Sumitomo (SHI) Demag agency Macam Srl and will continue to act as the agency for Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Italia in the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy and Aosta Valley.
Sumitomo (SHI) Demag CEO Gerd Liebig thanked Sallemi for his contribution and his full commitment to the global strategy of the Group: "Our special thanks go to Roberto Sallemi, who fought with great passion for our all-electric machine series. This focus has certainly given us an edge in the Italian market.”
CEO Gerd Liebig welcomes Paolo Zirondoli as Managing Director of Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery (Italia) S.r.l.Paolo.
Liebig adds: "The Italian market plays an important role for us. To underline this importance, we are sending Paolo Zirondoli, our most experienced salesman, to Italy. His aim is to dovetail the organisation more closely with the central functions in Schwaig. At the same time, he will further expand the strategic focus on our all-electric machine series and align it with the important markets of Packaging and Medical.”
