In Italy, Luigi Rossi, one of the co-founders of ASAL passed away. He was also active on the international level, acting as IFES Vice-President.

IFES offers its condolences to Luigi Rossi's family and to our Italian colleagues.

Luigi Rossi was the owner of La Milanese, a long-established and renowned stand constructing company in Italy. During years, he was one of the driving forces behind all the initiatives taken by ASAL to promote our industry. 
He was much admired for his generosity, his working capacity and his creativity in inventing new solutions for our industry.
We will miss him.
