For many years, CERIF has studied merits, trade-financial trends, turnover development and characteristics of family-owned companies, with particular attention to the challenges to be faced and the various phases of the generational transition. With this award, the Besana Group is counted among one of the most profiled family-managed in Italy.
Both the President of the Besana Group, Pino Calcagni, and his son Riccardo, respectively the third and fourth generation of the centenary history of Besana, were present in the event. In addition to Riccardo, his sister Vittoria Calcagni is also part of the actual Group Management.
Just 10 days before the ceremony, on Thursday 22 November, the President of the Besana Group took part in a round table as part of the 6th Food & Made in Italy Forum, organized in Milan by ‘Il Sole 24 Ore', one of the major Italian financial newspapers. In the discussion, mainly focused on innovation, internationalization, price policies and new technologies, Mr. Calcagni also gave strong contributions on agro-industrial aspects, basing on the experience that Besana attained in an ambitious and increasingly expanding project in favor of new nut cultivation areas in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Guiseppe Pino Calcagni is Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Scientific and Government Affairs Committee and Statistics Committee of the INC.
