The Italian Imer Group has gathered all the activities related to the production, sale and service of aerial platforms together under one division, Imer Access and Paolo Pianigiani has been appointed as business unit director to manage the new division.

Mr Pianigiani has many years experience in the foreign and domestic markets and in the various market sectors in which Imer operates.
