"We are proud of this achievement- said Lucia Aleotti and Alberto Giovanni Aleotti, Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Menarini Group - and take this opportunity to highlight how being able to hire the 17,000th staff member is largely due to the extraordinary work carried out by all our employees who, with enthusiasm and determination, are the true makers of the success of the Menarini Group".
