Tras la adquisición de Marazzi por parte de Mohawk, Vandini pasó a ocupar el puesto de responsable de los negocios europeos cerámicos de la empresa. Bajo la dirección de Vandini, la empresa incorporó nuevos negocios adicionales en Italia, Bulgaria y Polonia.

«Es un honor para mí liderar el segmento Cerámico Global de Mohawk», ha afirmado Valdini. «Seguiré trabajando con los talentosos líderes de las regiones en que operamos en beneficio tanto de nuestros clientes como de nuestros socios e inversores. Como mayor fabricante de baldosas de cerámica del mundo, seguiremos centrando nuestros esfuerzos en ofrecer un diseño capaz de revolucionar la industria, garantizar la excelencia operacional y sobrepasar las expectativas de nuestros clientes a nivel mundial».

Mohawk Industries has announced the promotion of Mauro Vandini to President of the Company’s Global Ceramic Segment, effective September 15, 2024. Vandini will maintain his current role as President of Mohawk’s European Ceramic business while taking on this new position. Jeff Lorberbaum, Mohawk’s Chairman and CEO, praised Vandini’s extensive knowledge of ceramic manufacturing, sales, and marketing.

Mohawk, the world’s largest producer of ceramic tile, operates in eight countries across three continents and sells in approximately 140 nations. Vandini, who began his career with Marazzi Group in 1983, has been instrumental in modernizing European ceramic operations and expanding the business through acquisitions and market entries. Chris Wellborn will assist in Vandini’s transition while continuing his role as Mohawk’s President and COO.

“I have worked with Mauro since 2013, following the Marazzi acquisition, and I respect his deep knowledge of ceramic manufacturing, sales and marketing and his ability to drive improvements in all areas of the business,” said Jeff Lorberbaum, Mohawk’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Since we acquired Dal-Tile in 2002, Mohawk has become the world’s largest producer of ceramic tile, with manufacturing in eight countries on three continents and sales in approximately 140 nations. Mauro has built strong partnerships with our regional ceramic business leaders, and he will collaborate with them to optimize their performance and bring outstanding design, quality and value to our customers.”

Vandini’s career began with Marazzi Group in 1983, and he subsequently worked as Marazzi’s technical director and Vice President of International Operations before serving as CEO of Marazzi Group. Following Mohawk’s acquisition of Marazzi, Vandini became the head of the European ceramic business. Under Vandini’s direction, European ceramic operations were modernized, complementary businesses in Italy, Bulgaria and Poland were acquired and a successful entry into the rapidly growing porcelain slab market was completed.

“I am honored to lead Mohawk’s Global Ceramic segment,” said Vandini. “I will continue working with our strong leaders across our regions to benefit our customers, associates and investors. As the world’s largest ceramic tile manufacturer, our focus will remain on industry-changing design, operational excellence and exceeding the expectations of our customers around the world.”

Chris Wellborn will assist Vandini during his transition to the Global Ceramic segment leadership role and will continue his responsibilities as Mohawk’s President and Chief Operating Officer, working with Lorberbaum to ensure that Mohawk’s strategies are maximizing the Company’s long-term results as the flooring industry recovers.
