The appointment comes as UNITED CAPS continues to expand internationally and further strengthen its growth strategy in response to increasing market complexity, higher customer expectations and the accelerating need for innovation and industrial performance.
Within the new organisational structure, several key technical and innovation-related functions, including R&D, industrialisation, mould expertise, automation & engineering, and NPD project management, will be brought together under Bruzzese’s leadership, further strengthening UNITED CAPS’ technical capabilities and innovation focus across the company.
This development also clarifies UNITED CAPS’ organisation around two key leadership areas: Manufacturing, led by Olivier Jaillot as Chief Manufacturing Officer, and Technology, led by Daniel Bruzzese as Chief Technology Officer, bringing together key innovation, industrialisation, mould expertise and engineering-related activities under a strengthened technological leadership structure.
“As UNITED CAPS continues to evolve and further strengthen its long-term growth ambitions, it is essential that we reinforce the way we combine operational excellence, technical expertise and innovation across the company,” commented Benoît Henckes, CEO of UNITED CAPS. “Daniel’s international experience and strong technical background will support us in accelerating innovation, reinforcing our industrial capabilities and continuing to develop high-value solutions for customers operating in an increasingly demanding and complex market environment.”
