Italian tower and luffing crane manufacturer Raimondi Cranes has announced the appointment of its new Chief Executive Officer.

Domenico Ciano will succeed Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, who served as the company’s CEO since 2009.

Ciano has more than 17 years of experience in the crane industry, joining the company in October 2014 as the company’s technical director. He was soon promoted to Chief Operations Officer, where he played a key role in Raimondi’s research and development capabilities.

He has been responsible for releasing a range of highly popular products to the global market.

“Having joined Raimondi Cranes five years ago, I was originally brought on to catalyse the company’s research and development segment, leading with intelligently-designed cranes and subsequently accessories,” Ciano said.

“My mission at that time was heavily skewed to design engineering, and bringing products to market that would both elevate the company’s reputation and re-position Raimondi as a global leader in the tower and luffing crane segments.

“Since 2014, Raimondi has launched a number of new products and a full accessories range, with extremely warm market reception. Every Raimondi product launch has been welcomed by strong sales and repeat purchasing; itself an indication of client satisfaction and acknowledgement of our technical advancements and product fit-for purpose.”

The appointment comes as part of a period of growth for Raimondi and Ciano will oversee the rollout of a number of new cranes during 2019.

Alkhoshaibi said he is confident and proud Raimondi will have a leader that values its heritage and will further invigorate the company.

“The wealth of in-house experience, together with his innovative approach to the crane industry, are only two of the reasons that the Board of Directors advocated for his appointment,” Alkhoshaibi said.

“I look forward to seeing Ciano’s passion, loyalty and drive rewarded through his position as our new Chief Executive.”

Ciano said the company has aggressively recruited market professionals for its team,

Raimondi’s commercial plans will continue under the new CEO.
