Performance Fibers Appoints New COO
Manufacturer of polyester fibre for the tyre industry, Performance Fibers, has named Alexander J. Carnevale to the position of vice president/chief operating officer to manage business operations worldwide, and Marc Sicre to lead the company’s European business. Mr. Carnevale’s role is a newly created position, formed at a time when the company reports it is continuing to experience ‘aggressive growth’.
The addition of the COO position to the global leadership team will, the company states, strengthen Performance Fibers’ organisational structure, which is centred around strong regional businesses in Europe, North America and Asia, supported by global functions. Under the new structure, the leaders of each of the three regions will report to Carnevale and maintain the company’s strong regional focus, while Carnevale will be responsible for developing a cohesive global plan for the company.
