Steriline completes its transition of top management
posted Tuesday 24 September 2024
Steriline, a company highly specialised in the production of complete lines for the aseptic packaging of injectables and ophthalmic products for global pharmaceutical companies, announces that it has completed the process of “passing on the torch” from the founder, the engineer Gerardo Fumagalli, to his children, Ilaria Fumagalli and Federico Fumagalli, who now take on the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Sales Officer respectively.
Gerardo Fumagalli, who founded Steriline in 1989, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He will continue to make his valuable contribution to a company that now has 235 employees and that, in over 35 years of activity, has established itself in the market of aseptic medicine packaging thanks to the experience, intuition and entrepreneurial spirit of the founder.
Over the past 10 years, Steriline has undergone major transformations: a considerable expansion, the opening of branches abroad, organisational and operational changes. All these operations were completed jointly by Gerardo Fumagalli and his children, who are now taking the reins of the company.
Ilaria Fumagalli joined Steriline in 1997, after graduating with a Master’s degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies from the University of Milan. She has held increasingly senior roles in the company, up to the position of Operations Director. Her new role is now Chief Executive Officer.
Federico Fumagalli, who joined the company in 2001, specialised in sales, marketing, market knowledge and the study of innovative projects to meet customer needs, progressing until he became the Commercial Director.
In the near future, to support growth, governance will be further expanded, with a particular focus on two strategic areas, i.e. product engineering and customer service. The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Chief Service Officer (CSeO) will be included in the management team in order to expand and innovate the developed technologies, focusing on excellence as the ultimate achievement. The task of the newly appointed CSeO will be developing the After Sales area and providing the best support to customers.
