Over the years the Group has focused special attention on quality certification (UNI EN ISO 9001) and on environmental issues, gaining ANAB-ICEA certification and certification relating to the use of “40% recycled materials”. Fincibec serves 3,000 customers worldwide with its three brand names Monocibec, Century and Naxos.

“First of all I would like to thank my colleagues for their confidence in nominating me to the leadership of the association,” said Chairman Designate Vittorio Borelli. “Working together within a representative and cohesive association is the best way to address the current difficult situation. For this reason, I hope to see the greatest involvement on the part of all member companies.”
