The organisational structure of the Marangoni Group has been redefined with a series of appointments, which have become operational in February.

 

Rovereto (IT) – Since the beginning of February, the organisational structure of the Marangoni 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.

These 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 – Dino Maggioni, Managing Director of the Marangoni Group, announced – 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. 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.”

The new organisation, with the resulting appointments, has been operating since 1 February 2017.
