Romaco has named three new sales directors: Borja Guerra for Romaco Kilian in Cologne, Massimiliano Cesarini in Bologna, and Ralph Augenstein in Karlsruhe.
Guerra is responsible not only for the sales & service department, but also for product and project management at the manufacturer of tablet presses for the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
“Borja Guerra is an extremely accomplished salesperson with a lot of management experience, who is ideally suited as director of the Kilian sales & service department,” explained Jens Carstens, managing director of Romaco Kilian GmbH. “Mr. Guerra is excellently connected and his knowledge of the market is immense. He has everything it takes to move Kilian a decisive step forward.”
Prior to joining Romaco Kilian, Guerra held a number of executive positions at leading pharmaceutical suppliers such as Mediseal, Körber Pharma, Groninger, and Farma Alimenta in the course of a career spanning more than two decades. As a sales specialist, he focused on the international marketing of engineering solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. Most recently, Guerra was executive vice president sales & after sales at Mediseal.
“I’m very much looking forward to the new challenges facing me at Kilian and to collaborating with colleagues at Group level,” said Guerra. “The Romaco Group is currently investing heavily in expanding its decentralized sales and service organization. This will create major opportunities for Kilian tableting technology to grow globally in both the pharmaceutical and the non-pharmaceutical sectors.”
