The organisational structure of the 6214 Marangoni Group has been redefined with a series of appointments.

The Italian tyre company says that since the beginning of February the organisational structure of the group has seen a high turnover in management positions.

It represents a further step in the generational change that is taking place within the group, which is the result of a process that began a few years ago to ensure the company’s success in facing the new global market challenges of the tyre industry, says Marangoni.

The appointments give greater responsibility to experienced and qualified company employees, selected to manage several key duties of the group or that are specific to the organisational divisions linked to the core business of retreading.

“"This managerial turnover is meant to bring about a change in the way we operate and conceive leadership, giving these talented people the chance to have a more direct influence on the decisions made by the management team, enhancing their working skills in a cohesive and integrated team, which values shared results and promotes empowerment at all levels,” says Dino Maggioni, managing director of the Marangoni Group.

“We can do this because many valuable people have grown together with Marangoni, and we can now benefit greatly from their remarkable expertise at national and international level and from their creative energy. With this renewed management team, the ambitious goals that we set for ourselves have become tangible and we can pursue innovative business models to seize new market opportunities.”

Christoph Frost, co-managing director for S&M of Marangoni Retreading Systems Deutschland since mid-2015, is now sales and marketing director Retreading Systems EMEA (Europe, Middle East, North Africa).

Matteo Berti is now responsible for the sales and marketing management of the business unit now redefined as Direct Retreading (TBR and OTR) and Services, previously Retreaded Tyres. He joined the group in 2014 as head of the Commercial & Industrial Tyres division of Pneusmarket, and replaces Brenno Benaglia, who will be retiring from the company in April, and who is thanked by Dino Maggioni for “his excellent work in 39 years of activity, showing management integrity and commitment in the best interest of the company.”

Berti will be directly in charge of two commercial positions: OTR sales EMEA, assigned to Luca Mai, and direct retreading sales and Network Italy, assigned to Francesco Capurso.

Giovanni De Bei, marketing manager for the Retreading and Industrial Units since 2009, has taken on the role of sales and marketing director of TRM (Tyre Retreading Machinery), but will retain the position of marketing manager for the retreading sector ad interim, replacing Michele Sanseviero, who is leaving Marangoni.

Giampaolo Brioschi, at Marangoni since 1998, is the new group R&D director, and will retain the position of corporate product manager ad interim.

Giuseppe Magistrale, in addition to his position as R&D manager for Precured Products, is global project manager Six Sigma, and will be involved in the implementation of the Six Sigma approach in all Marangoni processes, while Alessandro Villa is now manufacturing systems manager, and will also be part of the Six Sigma steering committee.
