Turin – Marco Gay designated president of the Industrial Union: “Turin companies will be the engine of growth and development”
Marco Gay was chosen as president of the Industrial Union of Turin, succeeding Giorgio Marsiaj. The decision was taken by the general council of the Confindustria association, based on the report of a designation commission composed of Gianfranco Carbonato, Dario Gallina and Licia Mattioli. Gay, current executive president of Zest and president of Confindustria Piemonte, expressed gratitude for the trust received and outlined the future challenges that Turin companies will have to face.
The next step includes a General Council meeting on June 25, during which Gay will present his presidency team.
The formal election will take place on July 15 at a meeting of the general assembly. Giorgio Marsiaj concluded his mandate with satisfaction, highlighting the support provided to companies during a difficult economic period and leaving a solid and authoritative Turin Industrial Union.
“I am honored and excited by this first important step towards the presidency of the Turin Industrial Union, for us ‘the Union. I thank the three wise men, Licia Mattioli, Gianfranco Carbonato, Dario Gallina for the precious work done, my colleagues for the trust they have shown in me, and the president Giorgio Marsiaj for what he has done and will do”, thus executive president of Zest and president of Confindustria Piemonte, speaking to the general council. “Important economic and social challenges await us. I am certain that Turin companies will be an engine of growth, development and well-being, and an accelerator of opportunities, capable of continuing to compete and of creating and attracting new industrial and technological excellence – he added – we are a firm point in addressing the changes, because Turin is a melting pot of industry and knowledge capable of attracting talents who want to compete every day on a national and international level. My main commitment will be to involve our associates in this project, together with a strong and capable team.”
These are the words of Giorgio Marsiaj: “I conclude my mandate with the satisfaction of having served the city’s entrepreneurial system without reservations in one of the most delicate phases of the country’s recent economic history, which has put the resilience of our companies to the test. Unione Industriali Torino has always been at their side and together we have crossed a treacherous ford. But we came out of it with determination, facing the challenges of the great global changes underway with the awareness of having what it takes to consolidate Turin’s role as a leading manufacturing and technological hub in Europe. I leave a solid, authoritative Turin Industrial Union that has grown in the number of members, thanks also to a first-rate structure, to which I express my gratitude for the precious work carried out alongside me”.
