Germany/UK: Pietro de Michieli, the managing director at Aumund Fördertechnik, has taken over the chair for Equipment Design and Infrastructure at the Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA) in the UK. In February 2019 he became the Vice Chairman of the Safety and Environment Committee at PEMA.
“I’m delighted to chair PEMA’s Equipment Design and Infrastructure Committee. I have an excellent contact network of people across a number of segments, so I offer an open window to different sectors. I have most experience in bulk handling – one of the sectors where PEMA is now attracting members. This is vital if we are to advance PEMA’s work on building the mutual exchange of information and learning best practice from across different sectors,” said de Michieli.
