RECIRCLE AWARDS
Leo Linkesch – Marangoni
Leo Linkesch works
as Area Manager in
the Marangoni's
Retreading Systems
business unit. He's
responsible for sales
in the easternmost part of Europe, in the Russian Federation and many other Russian- speaking countries. He's been working for
Marangoni since 1998, but the first contacts with the company go back to 1994. From the beginning of his career, he has contributed significantly to the creation and expansion of the Marangoni network of independent retreaders in Eastern Europe.
Leo's commitment was paramount for the growth of Marangoni's business in Eastern Europe, a region that was changing rapidly in the 90s. The key to success was precisely his ability to understand both sides of the former Iron Curtain and the different ways of mentality and thinking in these two worlds. He's a professional with an excellent dedication to work, always supportive and proactive in solving any customer issue. The knowledge of many languages and his passion for journalism makes it easy for him to spread the culture of retreading.
