Williams, with his experience spanning 35 years in the corrugated industry, will work with the existing Avanti Conveyors management team of Simon Mander and Danos Damianou to fully integrate the team and products into the Emmepi Group. Williams will share his time in his CEO role alongside continuing as Managing Director of GTS Europe.
“Joining Emmepi Group in this new handling division is more than a new role; it’s a journey I’m keen to embark on, driving growth and innovation,” said Williams, “This partnership makes the group greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a natural progression for both businesses and allows us to take overall responsibility for the flow of production at customer sites. The demand for automation in the corrugated industry right now is at an all time high and means that we are well placed to deliver what our customers are requesting.”
Alessandro Bersanetti, President, Emmepi Group, stated, “Alberto Fioriti and I felt that David’s extensive corrugated industry background and business development skills should help us strengthen partnerships, develop strategic alliances and expand our international sales presence. He has exceptional strategic capabilities, proven operational effectiveness, and a great reputation in the industry.”
