Growing Younger Museum

Headquarters Pianoro, Bologna

The hub of our history

The GYM, acronym for Growing Younger Museum, is a museum space that tells our story through the eyes of the pioneers - it was back in 1974 when founder Massimo Marchesini built his first cartoner in a garage and laid the foundations for the birth of Marchesini Group.

The name chosen aims to sum up the company philosophy in three words: to grow while remaining young, or in other words, to work in a modern way without losing sight of the distinctive characteristics that have made us a point of reference in the field of pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging machines.

Where hospitality meets culture

The museum was inaugurated in 2014 on occasion of the Open Factory to celebrate 40 years in business, and over time has become one of the institutional backdrops within the company.

Experimental art exhibitions are held within its walls - the famous exhibition in 2017 of the ZED project, an extraordinary fusion between art and science capable of representing the human state of mind - and meetings with the press, as well as public debates among top management, local and national authorities and shareholders.
