AsConAuto

Dario Campagna

President of AsConAuto Srl, Treasurer of the AsConAuto Association, President of the UCAV Spare Parts Consortium of Varese, and President of the Daihatsu DAG Motors Dealership of Varese.

Dario Campagna began his professional career as a sailing instructor for Valtur. In 1982 he made the move to automobile sales and worked in a number of different positions. In 1991 he became a partner in the DAG Motors Dealership of Varese. A founding member of the UCAV Spare Parts Consortium, he joined AsConAuto in 2003 as President of the Consortium in Varese. He defines himself as demanding and focused on details, and practices what he preaches each day on the job. The active and dynamic type, he is also Vice President of the association C.A.O.S. (which offers support for women who have undergone breast surgery), and is well aware of the importance of providing concrete support for people facing difficult challenges.

When he has the chance to get away from his numerous commitments, he enjoys sailing – his great passion – with his family on Italy’s Lago Maggiore. “I’ve got to take a complete break from work least one day a week, to take care of my family and recharge my batteries.”

Rinaldo Rinaudo

Vice President of AsConAuto and founding member and President of the GRO (Granda Original Spare Parts) Consortium of Cuneo, Italy, which, along with the DOC Consortium of Brescia, the VERO Consortium of Rimini, and the DOC Consortium of Mantova, forms the core group which led to the birth of AsConAuto.

Rinaldo Rinaudo is a manager with proven experience in the automotive sector. His knowledge of this specific market is the fruit of the many operative and managerial roles he has worked in over his long career.

Rinaldo Rinaudo is President of Cuneotre SpA, the Peugeot Dealership in which his son, Pierandrea Rinaudo, is CEO. After studying liberal arts, he began working in a sector he has always had a passion for: In the 1960s he entered the world of electronics, in the employment of a British firm, for whom he installed and inspected landing instrumentation at several airports. During this period he earned his private pilot’s license, as well as his FCC (Federal Communications Commission) radio operator’s license, and produced several technical publications which appeared internationally.

Rinaldo Rinaudo himself describes those early years as his “Gypsie” period. From here he changed professional sectors and “settled down”. In the late 1960s he worked for Rank Xerox in Milano. In the early 1970s he moved to Chrysler Italia, first as Area Manager in several Italian regions, and later was directly employed at the company’s main offices, in Torino and Milano. A firm supporter of the importance of practical collaboration among players operating in the same sector, he participated enthusiastically in the birth of AsConAuto in 2001. Since then, he has constantly put his experience and great knowledge of the automotive sector at the service of the Association’s activities and initiatives. He has participated on numerous work committees, behind which he is often the driving force.

“When we started thinking about creating AsConAuto, we knew that becoming a consortium was the only viable way to be competitive on the market, even if such a structure did not yet exist. We believed in this right off the bat, and this enthusiasm drove us to making a huge commitment to setting up a functional and efficient organization, and to seek out other realities like ours to join us. Time has proved us right, and the numbers speak clearly: 14 consortia, 700 dealerships and a network of over 10,000 automobile repair affiliates. But it doesn’t end here. The potential of our Association is enormous, and I am convinced that once again, time will tell as we reap new rewards and achieve important results.”
