Bandera Names New G.M. for North American Operation
Mattia Gambarotto is based out of Bandera U.S. LLC’s new office in Illinois.
Italian machine builder Bandera has named Mattia Gambarotto general manager of Bandera U.S. LLC. Gambarotto is based out of Bandera’s new office in Warrenville, Ill. Bandera makes production lines for blown film and recycling.
Gambarotto joined Bandera in 2012, shortly after obtaining a degree in economics and ´óÏó´«Ã½ management. He was named sales and resident manager in Hong Kong, responsible for the southeast Asian area, where he successfully grew the market and established the local after sales customer service center.

“In addition to the administration, sales and service functions, we will take particular care in the area dedicated to project management in order to fully meet the needs of the North American market, which is structurally different from other markets,” Gambarotto says.
Blown film sales veteran Jim Dalton has also joined Bandera as regional sales manager.
