New UNIC Presidency
COTANCE Vice-President RINO MASTROTTO, New President of UNIC
On 23 June the Assembly General of Italian tanners took place in Milano (Italy). The delegates elected as new Chairman for the 2011-2013 mandate Veneto tanner Rino Mastrotto, head of the Rino Mastrotto Group S.p.A., one of the world’s largest tanneries.
At the end of 1998, Mr. Mastrotto chose to merge some of the most important companies he led into a single entity, the Rino Mastrotto Group. These companies were Basmar, Pomari, Calbe, Brusarosco and Galassia. The unified organization has 1,100 employees and generates consolidated sales of €250 million. Over the last decade, Rino Mastrotto has also led a series of international transactions that have resulted in the acquisitions of the tanneries Bermas Maracanau in Brazil, the Rino Mastrotto Group Vietman, and Elmo Leather in Sweden, in addition to a number of sales offices in China, Paraguay, Australia and Hong Kong.
Assisting the new chairman for the next two years will be four deputy chairmen:
Graziano Balducci (outgoing chairman – Antiba, S. Croce sull’Arno PI); Franco Donati (Lufran – D & Co. Consortium, S. Croce sull’Arno PI); Giuseppe Walter Peretti (Cristina, Montebello Vicentino VI); and Gianni Russo (Russo di Casandrino, Casandrino NA).
