Zucchi was elected at the General Assembly held on 14 June, 2024.
Zucchi has been active in CEMATEX, having been involved in the ACIMIT delegation since 2015. He is the immediate past president of ACIMIT, and continues to be a staunch advocate of sustainability issues in the textile industry, including promotion of the ACIMIT green label and the recycling of textile machinery.
