Kerakoll Group has appointed two managers, completing the top team within its organisational structure. The appointments are for the heads of the international area and research & development, with the objective of giving further impetus to the group’s growth path.
Marco Righi has been appointed as the group’s new chief of the international business unit (CIBUO), whose main responsibility will be to develop and coordinate the activities of the seven regions in which Kerakoll now operates (APAC, UK/NL/Nordics, DACH, West Europe, MEA & GCC, East & South, Brazil). The creation of the new division will boost the internationalisation process with the aim of consolidating and strengthening Kerakoll’s presence in international markets, which in 2023 accounted for 41% of total revenues, amounting to €316m (£262m).
Federico Menta has been invited to take on the role of new chief of research & development (CR&DO), with responsibility for guiding research, development and quality control activities; fundamental pillars for a Group like Kerakoll that makes innovation and sustainability two of the hallmarks of its DNA and invests 2.6% of turnover in R&D and technical assistance.
“We are thrilled to welcome two professionals of the calibre and experience of Marco and Federico to our team”, said Marco Zini, group CEO of Kerakoll.
Finally, the group has also appointed a new regional director East & South Europe, Michal Wroblewski, who joined on 7 January. Wroblewski will operate from Kerakoll Polska in Poland, which opened in 2002, and will contribute to Kerakoll’s development and success in the new Region.
“The arrival of Michal Wroblewski is an important moment for our new International Business area, which is now fully staffed,” continued Zini. “Michal Wroblewski has held a number of senior roles in leading companies, covering a wide range of geographic areas, including USA, EMEA and APAC. His contribution will also be crucial for the development of our business in the region, where we are present in Poland and Greece, and in countries where we do not yet have a direct presence.”
