His entrepreneurial career began at the age of 22 alongside his father Massimo, who had started his own business in the Bologna Packaging Valley in 1974. In the years that followed, Marchesini transformed what was once a small artisan business into Marchesini Group S.p.A., a company that today employs 2,000 people and ranks among the leaders in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics packaging sector, thanks in part to partnerships, acquisitions and careful internationalisation.
