During the annual general meeting of UDIB (Unione Distributori Italiani Bulloneria) in Palazzo Maccaferri in Bologna, Gian Marco Dalpane was unanimously elected as the Association's new President. The term of office is three years. Dalpane succeeds Riccardo Bonalumi, who did not stand for another term.

This is his statement after the election: ‘I am extremely proud to be able to represent UDIB for the next three years. I will endeavour to do my utmost to ensure security and cooperation for our members at this time of serious economic and legislative uncertainty. At the same time, I will try to maintain a high-level of cooperation with the European organisation EFDA, which represents us so well in Brussels."
