Nicola Ballini

Nicola Ballini has been announced as the new general manager of Italian group Ilip, a leading company in the fresh produce packaging and the food service packaging.

Ballini will be succeeding Alfonso Sibani, who has guided the company since its foundation, more than 50 years ago. Sibani will continue to maintain an executive role on the Ilpa group’s board, of which Ilip is the main division.

“Ilip’s history is closely related to the figure of Alfonso Sibani, through a liaison that goes beyond the role of general manager,' commented Riccardo Pianesani, the legal representative of Ilpa Group. “Alfonso followed the company from its creation to this day, more than 50 years of continuous growth and of successes, and we’re happy to know he’ll keep on doing it within the company’s board. We would like to thank him while we warmly welcome his successor, Nicola Ballini.

Sibani added: “I am honoured to welcome Ballini to Ilip. He is a great professional with several years’ experience, who will certainly be able to widen the company’s horizons and its development. His nomination completes a process of company reorganisation that has given us a dynamic, efficient structure, capable of reinforcing our position in the market and of better responding to the requirements and new challenges of the markets.'
