Wolfgang Meier to Leave Pirelli UK

Pirelli’s factory in Carlisle will bid farewell to its head of operations at the end of this year. UK industrial director Wolfgang Meier has accepted a senior position at Pirelli headquarters in Milan, and will end his five-year tenure with the company’s UK operations in December. He will be replaced by the current UK traditional manager Vittorio Carducci-Agostini, who will take over in January.

Meier’s career in the UK began in 2003 following his appointment to the role of human resources director. He served in this capacity until the start of 2006, when he stepped into his current position following the retirement of John Nixon.
