FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation - has elected its Presidency team for the 2023-2025 term of office.
At its Annual General Assembly last week, Martin Petersson, CEO Ardagh Glass Packaging – was elected President of the EU container glass federation.
Mr Petersson said: “I am honoured to take up this important role and look forward to contributing to FEVE’s work in collaboration with FEVE members, staff, and the national associations.
“We have challenging and exciting times ahead of us, but we are in a strong position to reach our sustainability goals and strengthen our industry’s Circular Economy model.”
Martin Petersson succeeds Vitaliano Torno, O-I Glass President Business Operations & O-I Europe, who led the association for the previous two years.
“Vitaliano did a great job in navigating the federation through recent years, marked by the global pandemic and unforeseeable market dynamics, but he also managed to maintain a united industry in shaping a common vision to face the major challenge of climate neutrality”, said Petersson.
The FEVE members also elected Michel Giannuzzi, Chairman of the Board of Verallia, as Vice-President.
Mr Giannuzzi said: “Our industry is at a crucial crossroad on the path to the future. We should not be afraid to invest in the sustainability assets of our business model to secure our future as packaging leaders.
“I am looking forward to supporting Martin and the sector over the next two years in the drive to address climate change and the sustainability agenda.”
