Nilpeter appoints new president in North America

Colletta left his post as president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Nilpeter USA on August 31, with DeGirolmo assuming all managerial responsibilities as president and managing director from September 1.

DeGirolmo was most recently vice-president of operations, having initially joined Nilpeter in 2000. In the intervening years, he has held several key positions within the company including vice-president of sales and North America product manager.

He will report directly to the executive management board at the Nilpeter global headquarters in Slagelse, Denmark.

Lars Eriksen, president and CEO of Nilpeter A/S, said: ‘Nilpeter’s long-term presence in the North American market is a key part of our corporate strategy and we intend to keep developing our strong commitment to our valued customers.’

Customers were quick to welcome DeGirolmo as the new head of Nilpeter USA. James H. Shacklett III, owner and CEO of National Label Company, said: ‘I want to compliment Nilpeter on naming Lenny DeGirolmo as president of Nilpeter USA.

‘Lenny is a leader, knowledgeable about his products, energetic and a straightforward, honest person. We have worked with Lenny for years and look forward to him having the role of president and managing director.’

Gary Dunlap, president of TVC Label, added: ‘I have worked with Lenny since 2003, and I can honestly say, I've never met a more driven person.

‘As a leader, I see Lenny as someone, who is completely focused on the client, which is how I have always run my business. He has been a great partner in our success.’
