With the arrival of Marco Zini, Kerakoll is strengthening its top management structure, with the additional of another very professional figure to the existing indisputably valuable team of managers and the family that owns it.
Sassuolo, 11 January 2023 – The Kerakoll Group, a leading multinational company in the field of sustainable building products, has announced that Marco Zini will be taking on the roles of Group CEO and Kerakoll S.p.A. Board Member from 16 March 2023.
Marco Zini, 53, has been Group Managing Director of San Marco Group, a leading company in the field of paints and varnishes for the building sector since 2017.
His professional career includes years of international experience in the consumer and industrial sectors (consumer goods, white goods and construction materials), where he has held operational positions in marketing & sales and, subsequently, in top management, acting as President & Managing Director in large family-run and multinational companies (Danone, Ferrero, KPMG, Indesit, Assa Abloy and San Marco Group), giving him a truly global perspective.
With the arrival of Marco Zini, Kerakoll is strengthening its top management structure, with the additional of another very professional figure to the existing indisputably valuable team of managers and the family that owns it.
In 2022 Kerakoll again achieved significant growth both in terms of consolidated turnover, which saw an increase of approximately 25% with respect to 2021, and the number of associates worldwide, who now exceed 2,400 people.
The first few months of 2023 will see the implementation of a multi-year investment plan covering Italy, Europe and India. This will involve the creation of new manufacturing units, logistics hubs and the ongoing acquisition of talented new professionals for the various group companies, to allow us to consolidate our position in key markets and approach new ones.
Innovation, sustainability, internationalisation and attention to people (associates and stakeholders) will continue to be the Kerakoll’s hallmarks in the years to come.
“We are planning to grow very significantly”, commented Romano Sghedoni, President of Kerakoll, “and for this reason we need to extend our top team to include highly qualified managers who are aligned to our values. We are certain that the choice of Marco Zini, a person with extensive experience, is the best one to integrate, support and direct the Group’s management team, working alongside our owner family in this increasingly demanding and challenging task.”
“We are confident that we can continue to strengthen relations with our customers”, added Sghedoni, “further improving the combination of product and service thanks to the support of our Research Centre (the most advanced in the world in this sector), the Central Engineering function and our professionals (Agents, Sales and Product Managers), both in Italy and abroad”.
