Neolith Names New Global CEO

CARLSTADT, N.J. – Sintered-stone-surfaces manufacturer Neolith announces that Walter Ceglia is the new global CEO for Neolith Group.

Ceglia brings more than 20 years of experience leading projects in international industrial environments. Most recently, he served as executive chairman of HMY, a Franco-Spanish company owned by LBO France, where he led a far-reaching strategic transformation.

Under his leadership, HMY evolved from a specialist in the food market to a global player in retail with strong organic growth, international expansion and diversification. The end result was the sale of HMY to an industrial group early this year.

Before leading HMY, Ceglia worked as CEO of Couach, a naval group, and GE Power Conversion (formerly Converteam) in Latin America.

With this appointment, Neolith addresses the demands of its current stage and reaffirms its commitment to sustained growth in the sintered-stone market. Last year, it showed clear growth, particularly in key markets such as the United States, Oceania and Asia.

This year, the company aims to consolidate its expansion in those regions while accelerating its global expansion in other territories.

The group is currently preparing new showrooms in Madrid, and Auckland, New Zealand, to launch in the coming months. Neolith is also planning a major product rollout, introducing new products for architectural projects and innovative designs for kitchen countertops.

Neolith operates under a fully collaborative model backed by a state-of-the-art plant in Castellon that integrates highly automated processes. Its sintered stone products are designed for a wide range of spaces, from kitchens and bathrooms to facades and outdoor environment.

The company is committed to the highest sustainability standards and holds Zero Waste and Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze certifications.
