Carlo Banfi, already VP of Europump and as of a few days ago President of Assopompe, has worked in the vacuum and liquid centrifugal pump manufacturing industry for over 25 years, covering various managerial roles in important international groups such as Flowserve Worthington, Rutschi and Aturia.

“After electing Sandro Bonomi, President of ANIMA, to head Orgalime, the European Engineering Industries Association, now the Italian leader also reconfirms a prime role in the mechanical sector – declares Banfi, new President of Europump. The fact that once again the choice fell upon Assopompe to manage Europump, is an indicator of the widespread influence and innovativeness of our products in the whole world that can be taken as a model and as incentive. The Italian quality that characterizes and defines our service also allows diverse cultures to collaborate for the benefit of the manufacturing industry and for the recovery of employment.”
