His appointment is part of a planned leadership restructure following on from the Group’s recent acquisitions – that of Sanguineti, Nemo, Xenta, and US-based YMS – as well as an expanded product range.
It also follows on from a majority investment into the Group by Fondo Italiano d’Investimento and Armònia in September 2022.
“As we envisioned at the beginning of our journey with the Marzucco family, the increased complexity of the Group calls for renewed governance and a gradual shift toward a more managerial operational structure,” said Gianpaolo Di Dio, chairman of the Quick Group and senior partner of Fondo Italiano d’Investimento.

“Stefano is the right person to lead this transformation, thanks to his skills and enthusiasm.
“We are grateful to Michele, who has led the Group until now, for his work and his vision, which have enabled the company to remain a champion of technological innovation.
“We are confident that the Marzucco family will continue to support the project with their characteristic passion and enthusiasm”.
