Roberto Vagheggi

After a degree in Electronic Engineering at the University of Florence, in 1995 I started my career in the industrial sector, in the multinational company Sun Chemical. In 2002 I became General Manager and CEO of Union Derivan, for which I was responsible for restructuring the company, preparing its sale and managing its entry into Caffaro, a company owned by SNIA SPA. I faced the same challenge in 2009, when I was in charge to restructure and sell the Italian company Altair Chimica. I fulfills this mandate in 2011 when Altair Chimica was bought by the Esseco Group, which asks me to remain in charge of the company. Since then, Altair Chimica achieved 11 years of consecutive growth, passing from 40 to over 100 million of Euros in turnover and participating in the founding of Altair Iberica and the acquisition of Hydrochem Italia, where I managed the restructuring and rebirth project. In 2021 I was appointed General Manager of Esseco Industrial, the Industrial Chemical Division of Esseco Group, with the objective of managing the growing complexity of the company, also linked to several acquisitions in recent years, and developing the complementarity of the industrial activities of Esseco Group, ensuring the Division continuous growth and high competitiveness on a global level.
