The Italian entrepreneur was one of the protagonists, along with his brother and father, of the rise of A.Celli in the worldwide tissue, paper and nonwoven machinery industry.
Yesterday Piero Celli passed away peacefully at the age of 89 at his home in Porcari, Lucca, Italy.
Born on July 15, 1936, in Pontedera (Pisa), Piero Celli was one of the leading figures in the history of both A.Celli Group and the Italian paper machinery industry in general.
He and his brother Marco, together with their father Alvaro, founded in 1962 the “Officina Meccanica Alvaro Celli e Figli s.n.c.”. Thanks to the efforts made by the two brothers in the search for new markets, customers and technology suppliers and to a relationship of respect and seriousness towards collaborators, suppliers and customers, they have contributed to making the A.Celli brand and quality known worldwide. “Before being a great entrepreneur, my father was a great man. A loyal, curious, and intelligent person, gifted with that spark that truly makes a difference. There was a vibrant light in his eyes, and in his heart the energy of someone who built this company with passion, vision, and a deep sense of responsibility toward people. Today, he has returned to the Father’s house, but he leaves in all of us the lasting mark of an extraordinary example—one that we hope will continue to inspire us all.” declares Alessandro Celli, son of Piero and shareholder of A.Celli Group
