Colines announced the appointment of Anthony Michael Caprioli as their new CEO. He has now been part of the Colines team for over one year, beginning as a Board member and commercial director.

Anthony Caprioli, on the initiative of the Board of Directors, has been given further operational powers, in addition to his marketing role, while the company’s chairman, Eraldo Peccetti, retains all administrative, financial and management powers. The decision made by the Board of Directors, including representatives of the three owner families, Lombardini, Peccetti and Zorloni, is aimed at further expanding the company’s business.

“In my first year with Colines, I realized that I was part of a great team and I am honoured for having been appointed as CEO and of course I am grateful to the Board of Directors for trusting me. My goal for the company’s future is to further develop our activities by widening our extrusion lines range, as well as reconsidering our strategies related to activities that currently are not the core-business for Colines”, Caprioli stated.
