Manny Cicero, who previously held the post of president of Alliance Tire Americas, has been named chief executive officer of Triangle Tire USA. His appointment follows last November’s official opening of the Chinese tyre maker’s local operation, Triangle Tire United States of America LLC.
Triangle Tire’s Triangle Tire USA division is establishing its North American headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. At the same time, the company announced that it has appointed ex-Bridgestone Americas executive Manny Cicero as its CEO. Following his time at Bridgestone, more recently Cicero has worked as an industry consultant.
Manny Cicero, president of Alliance Tire Group’s North American operation, will leave the company at the end of this month. Alliance Tire Group says the decision on Cicero’s departure was “mutually agreed upon”, and he will remain through to the end of 2014 as an advisor to the ATG board of directors. A successor has not yet been named.
