European Plastics Converters (EuPC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Federica Gallicchio as new Managing Director.
Federica joined EuPC in 2019 and has since built an impressive track record within the organisation. Initially working within the Packaging Division, she soon took on a leadership role in the Automotive Division, while also promoting innovation across the European plastics value chain through her involvement in several EU-funded initiatives in close cooperation with the major European R&D centres active in the plastics and composites sectors.
With a strong background in advocacy, Federica brings deep knowledge of European policymaking, having previously worked for a Member of the European Parliament active in the ENVI Committee. Her combined experience in public affairs and industry leadership makes her well-placed to guide EuPC at a time of unprecedented regulatory and technological change.
“Federica brings an invaluable expertise, having worked closely with EuPC members for many years and having been deeply involved in the plastics industry. Her understanding of both the regulatory landscape and the practical needs of our members makes her the perfect profile to lead EuPC in this new chapter,” stated Benoît Hennaut, EuPC President.
As Managing Director, Federica will focus on strengthening EuPC’s role as a key voice for European plastics converters, driving forward the organisation’s sustainability goals and reinforcing its advocacy efforts at the EU level.
“I am honoured to take on this role and to continue working with our members, partners, and stakeholders to help shape a more innovative, sustainable, and competitive plastics industry in Europe. The coming years will be critical for our sector, and I am fully committed to supporting EuPC in addressing both challenges and opportunities ahead,” commented Federica after her official appointment during the EuPC 2025 General Assembly.
EuPC looks forward to the continued success of the organisation under Federica’s leadership.
