Natuzzi
S.p.A. Today Announced the Resignation of Umberto Bedini as Chief
Operating Officer of the Group and the Appointment of Giuseppe Clemente
in Such Position
SANTERAMO IN COLLE, Bari, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 20,
2010--Umberto Bedini resigned from the Natuzzi Group (NYSE:NTZ) due to
some family reasons and decided to take a sabbatical period. He worked
for the Natuzzi Group for almost 2 years as Chief Operations Officer and
during these very intensive and demanding years he achieved important
results.
Umberto Bedini commented:“
It is with great regret and sad
emotion that I resigned from Natuzzi.
I take this opportunity to thank all colleagues for the availability
and support they always provided me with. I thank all the members of the
Board of Directors and Shareholders for the esteem and understanding
demonstrated to me. A special thanks goes to the Chairman and CEO and to
his family – of which I grew fond during these two years of permanence
in this extraordinary company – for the great professional and personal
experience they offered me and my family. From my side, I hope I have
given a small contribution in order to put the basis for the re-launch
of the company. A re-launch that I am sure will arrive very soon as a
result of the new strategies
.”
Giuseppe Clemente will take over the position of COO of Natuzzi Group.
Giuseppe, who joined our company more than 16 years ago, has been
covering positions of increasing responsibility. He started as Quality
Plant Manager, then as Plant Director. In January 2006 he held the
position as Logistics Manager until January 2009 when he was appointed
as Italy Manufacturing Director. Such positions have always been covered
by Giuseppe with great determination and professionalism. In addition,
Giuseppe Clemente has been in the last 2 years one of the most involved
collaborators of Umberto Bedini in the reorganization and introduction
of the most important innovations within the operations process.
Finally, it is important to highlight the fact that those managers who
represent first-lines of operations team, supporting Umberto Bedini in
the past 2 years, will certainly be able to continue the initiated
projects, carry out their job in autonomy and collaborate with the new
COO of the Group.
Pasquale Natuzzi Chairman and majority shareholder of Natuzzi Group
commented: “I respect Umberto’s decision and I thank him for the passion
and professionalism with which he has covered the position of Chief
Operations Officer during these two years. In line with the company
decision to give value to the human resources present in the Group and
to recognize the professional skills achieved in all these years, I have
decided to appoint Giuseppe Clemente as Chief Operations Officer of the
Group who will also maintain ad interim the position of Italy
Manufacturing Director”.
