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.

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.
