Trimco Group appoints Ricardo Lobo as group CEO

Trimco Group, a global supplier of branding, traceability and compliance technology for international apparel brands and retailers, has appointed Ricardo Lobo as its incoming new group CEO. Lobo will lead the company and spearhead its growth strategy.

Trimco now has a truly global supply chain capability. It has completed three major acquisitions in North America, expanded its footprint into Africa and Latin America, and continued to invest in new products such as ProductDNA, RFID and sustainable Hangers.

Lobo brings extensive global experience in the brand identity space to Trimco. He was most recently CEO at Beontag, where he transformed the business from a regional player to a global supplier of smart labels and RFID technology.

'We are pleased to welcome Ricardo to Trimco. His passion for building and growing businesses, bringing world-class products and solutions to apparel/retail customers, and his dedication to fostering a culture of innovation and best-in-class service will steer Trimco towards continued growth. We like to thank Amy Wan for her invaluable contribution to the business and wish her success in her new role as chief product officer, focusing on product development, design and innovation,' said the Trimco Group board of directors.  

Wan shared: 'It has been an incredible journey leading Trimco through a period of transformation and global expansion. As I transition into the role of chief product officer, I remain committed to advancing our innovation agenda in delivering world-class products.'

Lobo said: 'I am delighted to join the exceptional team at Trimco. Trimco is an Asian success story: a regional champion that is now a global player, with a presence in 27 countries. Trimco has a strong foundation steeped in innovation, collaboration and customer focus, and we will continue to deliver exceptional value and service to our customers.'

In 2022, Trimco Group was acquired by Brookfield. As a strategic partner, Brookfield is committed to driving Trimco’s long-term growth and success.
