Urschel celebrates Italy grand opening

Nearly one year after opening for business, Urschel International Limited Italy hosted an official grand opening in November 2012. Local dignitaries, Urschel customers, and management attended the event from Urschel Corporate and Urschel International.

Castagnole delle Lanza Mayor Marco Violardo presided over the official ribbon cutting using a golden TranSlicer slicing knife, specifically manufactured in honor of the event. After the ribbon cutting, local clergy led an invocation. Marco Cortese, Urschel Italy sales manager, was then awarded a plaque commemorating the new office presented by Tim O'Brien, vice president of sales.

Tours of the office were given and Urschel cutting equipment was displayed including the new Affinity large dicer.

“Thank you to all of the Urschel customers for participating in this event. The Urschel Italy office continues to set new sales records, and we are looking forward to many more successful years,” O'Brien said.
