Goebel appoints new CEO

Vaglietti, who will also continue to serve as CEO of IMS Deltamatic, succeeds Roberta Ghilardi in her responsibility for administration and finance.

Goebel, part of the Italy’s IMS Deltamatic Group, is a manufacturer of slitting and winding equipment for paper and board, film, tobacco paper, aluminum foil and aseptic packaging, and other special materials. The range of products include slitter rewinders and winding machines, as well as special machinery for the production and converting of web materials.

Vaglietti has been with IMS Deltamatic since the early 2000s. After completing a degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Bergamo in 2001, he started his career as design manager in IMS Deltamatic’s slitter and rewinder department. In 2005, Vaglietti changed to the American subsidiary of the group, Kasper Machine Company, where he began working as technical manager. He was then able to consolidate this experiences in his role as a program manager, following the group’s acquisitions. In 2009, he was promoted to operations director and subsequently became business strategy director in 2014, heading up the group’s global sales and marketing teams. In January 2015, he was appointed CEO of IMS Deltamatic. Together with Bauer, managing director, operations, and Knechtel, managing director, sales and marketing, he will form Goebel IMS's new management team.

‘I am looking forward to this new chapter in my career and to deepen our German-Italian relationship,’ said Vaglietti. ‘Together with my valued colleagues Dr Bauer and Mr Knechtel, we will aspire to strengthen our brand Goebel IMS, achieve further growth and drive the future expansion of our company. I am convinced that 2017 will be a successful year for Goebel IMS and the group.’

Earlier this year, Coeclerici took a 67 percent stake in IMS Deltamatic, as reported here, which will enable growth and leadership reinforcement on a global scale.
