Farewell to Giuseppe Silvestrini, former president of Unieuro and a historic figure in consumer electronics

Unieuro announces with deep sorrow the passing of Giuseppe Silvestrini, former president of the Group and a key figure in the history of consumer electronics in Italy.

Founder in 1979 in Forlì of Sgm Distribuzione, under the Marco Polo Expert brand, Giuseppe Silvestrini was a pioneering figure in Italian consumer electronics retail. His entrepreneurial vision and capacity for innovation led Sgm to become the largest Italian member of the Expert Group and, in 2013, to complete the transaction that created today’s Unieuro, now the market leader in Italy.

“We are losing a great entrepreneur who built the foundations of our history,” says Bruna Olivieri, country manager of Unieuro. “But today we above all want to remember the man, his values and his deep connection with his Romagna, made up of people and communities in which we see ourselves. Unieuro has grown and changed, but its roots remain and continue to be part of who we are.”
