Yokohama TWS announces new company president

Yokohama TWS, an Italy-based tire manufacturer that’s part of the Japan-based Yokohama Rubber Co., has announced the appointment of Elio Bartoli as its new company president, effective Dec. 1. Bartoli succeeds Paolo Pompei, who is stepping down to pursue external opportunities.

Bartoli has spent the last 12 years in various strategic roles at Yokohama TWS, including positions as commercial leader of industrial tires and, most recently, president of the EMEA Region and Global OE Leader.

“We are thrilled to welcome Elio as our new president,” says Nitin Mantri, co-chief operating officer of Yokohama and head of OHT division. “His deep industry knowledge, strategic vision and customer focus make him the perfect leader to guide Yokohama TWS into its next phase of growth. We are confident that under Elios leadership, the company will continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers, partners and stakeholders.”

Throughout his 25-year tenure, Pompei navigated the company through key phases of growth, expanding its global footprint and cultivating a vibrant corporate culture, Yokohama says.
