Pneumofore is sad to report that its former president of Pneumofore has passed away. Active at Pneumofore since 1959, Robert took his father Giacomo's seat in 1964 along with his older brother Alfred. Robert brought the company to dominate the Italian air compressor market throughout the first half of a his 47-year long career at Pneumofore. Over the past decade, he supervised the company's rise to new heights in the international vacuum market. He is fondly remembered by co-workers as a kind, charismatic man who was respected for his soft yet confident authority.
In his private life, Robert was deeply involved with his family, followed a passion for collecting fine arts, and played an important role in the Swiss community in Turin, especially during his eight-year tenure as honorary consul. His oldest son Daniel, who has worked at Robert's side for the last eleven years, succeeds him as President and CEO of Pneumofore.
