July 2025
Change at the top at ABI Tape Belgium: Mauro Castignani has been appointed new General Manager, taking over from Mathias Goossens, who is leaving the company to pursue new professional challenges.
Castignani brings with him almost thirty years of experience within the American Biltrite group. After an initial experience in Belgium, he founded ABItalia in Civitanova, in the Marche region, with his wife Lara in 1998, consolidating the group’s presence in the footwear reinforcement and leather goods sector.
In his new role, Castignani will lead sales development, customer relations, quality, safety, financial performance and team growth at the Ronse headquarters in Belgium for the entire EMEA region.
He will report directly to Michel J. Merkx, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of ABI/Ideal Tape. This is a new challenge for a manager who has in-depth knowledge of the markets, products and people in the sector.
