Kerakoll Group has appointed two new managers, completing the top team within its organisational structure. The appointments are for the heads of the International division 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.
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 into R&D and technical assistance. The company, at Group level, has 69 lines with a total of over 6,000 products for laying, building and surfaces.
Marco Zini, Group CEO of Kerakoll, said: “We are thrilled to welcome two professionals of the calibre and experience of Marco and Federico to our team. With the contribution they will be able to make in terms of vision and management skills, Kerakoll is further strengthening its managerial structure and its identity as a Group that aims to have an increasingly important presence in international markets and which, also in line with its being a B Corp certified Benefit Company, is renewing its growing commitment to innovation and sustainability”.
