PEI Management
At the helm of PEI is a management team inspired by continuous research and innovation, which accompanies the company’s growth with success and determination.
Industrial specialisation, attention to safety and technological innovation are the foundations of our long history that began in the 1980s: a history that is destined to continue for a long time to come.
Giorgio Tabellini
He has more than 45 years of experience and success in the tool machine protection and accessories sector. In 1980 he founded the PEI Group of which today he is chairman and business partner.
Vittorio Mardegan
Ever since the beginning of his career, Vittorio Mardegan has focused on the industrial machine tool protective cover sector. In fact, he started his professional experience in 1981 as technical office manager of an industrial protective cover manufacturer. He founded S.P.E.R., the glued, round sewn and heat-formed bellows manufacturing company that in 1985 entered into an agreement with the PEI Group and later became a part of it. He is currently a group shareholder and executive.
Michele Benedetti
He started working at PEI as an engineer in 1992 and shortly afterwards stood out as the central figure in the Innovation and Development department. In 2005, he joined the partners of PEI and proved to be a leading manager who will be able to share administration of the PEI Group in the future following a path of technical development and expansion in all markets.
Andrea Zambelli
His professional development took place during his work as a management consultant for the strategy division in Andersen Consulting, where he worked on business plans for important clients in Italy and abroad. During this time, he was also assigned exceptional tasks.
He acquired further corporate experience implementing development strategies, in particular during his employment as manager of the Bologna Trade Fair.
In 2012, he joined PEI, responsible for accompanying the corporation in its internationalisation outside Europe. This was realised by the opening of a production site in Brazil in March 2013. Due to his expertise in management and strategic planning, he subsequently became a shareholder of the group.
