Paini has extensive international experience in product development and global sales coordination previously working for Sidel.
Bernardi led the division for nearly five years strengthening its role as global partner to the industry while exploring new business avenues, including the recent acquisition of Defranceschi Italia, in the wine-making sector.
As head of the Closures & Containers division he will focus on integrating the various stages of container production, from preform to bottle.
