New chairman for IPAF Transport Platform Group

The Transport Platform Working Group (TPWG) of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has elected Luca Allegro, technical manager of Alimak Hek Italy, as its new chairman, taking over from Ernst Van Hek.

van Hek, who resigned due to personal reasons earlier this year, had led the TPWG since it was founded in 2007 with the aim of increasing safety in the use of transport platforms.

Allegro has convened a meeting of the TPWG on 18th September.

“I’m very thankful to the group members for my election,” said Allegro. “I will aim to do justice to their confidence by helping the TPWG accomplish the challenging task started by my predecessor Ernst van Hek.”
