Both these appointments are aimed at strengthening the focus and coordination of the sales and marketing processes in a context of strong growth and increasing competitiveness in the markets where Carel operates.

Mr Greggio and Mr Sandano, who in their long careers at Carel have successfully held roles of increasing complexity – at first technical and subsequently managerial – now have the responsibility at Group level of working closely together to guide business development in their respective markets.

“The strong market focus that this organisation will enable also has the goal of reinforcing close synergy between sales and marketing”, Mr Greggio said. “I am thrilled at this highly important opportunity, given Carel’s rate of innovation in the HVACR market.”

Mr Sandano added: “I enthusiastically welcome this challenge and feel this is a new starting point for focusing even more closely on the demands and needs of our respective reference markets. We will therefore continue the work that has been done so far and that has led Carel to grow significantly, while at the same time exploiting the specific opportunities in our markets.”
