Marcolin has announced the appointment of Andrea Vincenzo Virgilio as its new operations director. Virgilio, who recently held a position at Benetton, will officially take over his new role on July 25, succeeding Emilio Fulgione, who has moved to Artsana Group, an Italian medical sector company, as group operations director.
Owned by the French investment fund Pai Partners, the Italian eyewear manufacturer outlined in a press release that Virgilio will be responsible for overseeing the group’s factories, research and development, product compliance, and supply chain. He will report directly to CEO Fabrizio Curci.
Virgilio, an electronic engineering graduate from the University of Palermo, brings over 15 years of operational experience from multinational Italian corporations. His career started in 2007 with the automotive manufacturer FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), followed by a stint at eyewear giant Luxottica in 2014, and later at coffee producer Lavazza Group before joining the apparel group Benetton.
In 2023, Marcolin reported a 2% increase in revenue, reaching €558.3 million, alongside an improvement in profitability. Earlier this year, speculation about a potential sale surfaced as Pai Partners, which has held a majority stake in the eyewear firm since 2012, appeared interested in divesting.
