Mourning in the world of Sardinian industry. Pasquale Lavanga, one of the central figures in the growth of Fluorsid, has passed away. Arriving in Sardinia in 1960 as an officer in the Navy, he fell in love with the island and decided to move there permanently after meeting his beloved wife Angela. From the very beginning, alongside Count Carlo Enrico Giulini for the start of mining activities in Gerrei, he was a witness and an active part in the establishment of Fluorsid.

Thanks to his strong managerial and interpersonal skills, Lavanga has played a crucial role in the development of the mining and industrial heritage of the Island. He has held the position of managing director of Fluorsid since the company was founded on 17 April 1969. In 2004 he also took on the role of chairman of the Board of Directors, which he held until June 2017, in addition to having held other strategic roles in various companies of the Group.

Pasquale Lavanga has dedicated over 50 years of his life to Fluorsid and contributed significantly to the development of the company and its people, guiding it with a strong and visionary leadership. His extraordinary professionalism, combined with a deep humanity and a far-sighted vision, has inspired generations of employees and collaborators.

"His loss leaves an unfillable void, but his legacy will continue to guide us," said President Tommaso Giulini. "Pasquale was much more than a manager, for the company and for my family. His presence was a beacon for all of us, and his spirit will live on in the memories and hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him and work alongside him. Continuing on the path traced by Pasquale, honoring his example and preserving the values he was able to instill in the company, will represent our daily commitment and for the future."
