ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

AfidampCOM, the Italian association of cleaning products manufacturers, has a new president - writes Anna Garbagna for ECJ.

Roberto Galli is the new president of AfidampCOM, the Italian association of machines, products and equipment for the professional cleaning sector. The businessman  is the head of Erremme,  a company offering professional solutions and systems for the Ho.Re.Ca sector of the industrial cleaning industry, for hospital facilities and for specialised operators with particular regard to service companies. Galli will lead the association for the two-year period 2019-2020.

Galli was already a member of the outgoing management and  he was part of the commission that drew up Il Manuale della Ristorazione (Catering Business Manual),  Afidamp’s latest  publication which addresses in detail issues and business practices in every environment and surfaces of catering areas in contact with foods and drinks.

This manual methodically supplies information for those who operate in this sector and whose task is to manage a crucial aspect of the catering world. By means of simple cards the manual explains the procedures to be followed using  straightforward and comprehensible language. It is a practical guide geared towards complete beginners (and therefore very useful educational material for hospitality and culinary schools) as well as for experts who must find more evolved and up to date solutions for everyday activities.

Roberto Galli did not hide his satisfaction with his new position. He declared: “I take with great pride and motivation the leadership of AfidampCOM with the knowledge that I will be able to continue to contribute to the development of the professionalism of the companies in our sector. I thank my predecessor Francesco Bertini for his hard work as leader over the last seven years, and I am sure I can still count on his support”.

Also elected to the management board were: Francesco Marinoni as vice president from  Progiene 2000, a company which has been operating for over 30 years in the professional cleaning sector; Barbara Bottoni of Bottoni, a company operating in the sector of products, machines and equipment for professional cleaning and paper products; Stefano Siclari from Delfin Commerciale, active in the industrial cleaning sector on the whole national territory; Barbara Pedrini from Ica System; Gianni Tartari from Sil Advanced, a leader in the research of more adequate and efficient solutions;  and Francesco Bertini from Temaco, a company  marketing machinery, products and equipment for the cleaning and the sanitisation of environments.

During the assembly which took place at the Milan headquarters of Afidamp, the outgoing president Francesco Bertini recounted step by step the stages of his mandate and then thanked everybody for this valuable collaboration of the last years. He also wished the newly elected president the best of luck in his new position.

“I finish my presidency glad to have had the opportunity to contribute to the extraordinary think tank Afidamp is,” commented the departing president. “And I will continue to cooperate with the board.”
