Antonio Linares is the new senior managing director for Laufen and the Northern and Central European Roca division. The experienced executive succeeds Alberto Magrans who has been promoted to CEO of the entire Roca Group.
Linares joined the Roca Group in 2003 where he held several positions in corporate business development and marketing. As managing director, he successfully directed the business in Russia and the CIS including seven factories and more than 3,000 employees for more than twelve years. He has grown Laufen to become a market leader in the premium bathroom segment. With his many years of international experience in the sanitary market, Linares is the ideal candidate to continue Laufen’s global success story.
“I congratulate Alberto Magrans on his new position and look forward to continuing his impressive 10-year work of developing Laufen into the most innovative design brand in the bathroom business,” said Linares.
Born in 1970, Linares earned an MBA from the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña and graduated as a civil engineer specializing in bridges and structural engineering.
