Aggregate Industries appoint Pablo Libreros as growth and innovation director
AS part of their ongoing commitment to being a leading player in the construction products industry, Aggregate Industries have announced the appointment of Pablo Libreros as new growth and innovation director.
With vast experience in the industry, Mr Libreros joins AI having worked for LafargeHolcim Group, in South America, for the past six years. Most recently, he occupied the role of CEO for the parent company’s Costa Rica business. Prior to this, he has held various senior roles, including logistics director and supply chain director within the business’ Brazil division.
Mr Libreros has also worked in a number of ecological public sector positions in Paris, most notably as an advisor to the minister for sustainable development in France. This experience will be invaluable in ensuring that sustainability is at the core of Aggregate Industries’ activities and processes.
In his new role, Mr Libreros will be responsible for developing, recommending and delivering growth and innovation opportunities for the business, thus cementing its position as the industry forerunner. Key to this will be facilitating a greater cross promotion of products, not only in terms of the UK business but also with activities at Group level, in order to provide customers with the most comprehensive offering in the markets.
François Petry, Aggregate Industries’ chief executive officer, commented: ‘I am proud of the way Aggregate Industries has risen to the challenges presented by the market over the last few years. Innovation, sustainability and customer service have been a key factor in that. I believe that this role is an enabler for our company to reach that core position within the construction industry and transform our commercial approach, by driving customer growth and centricity. I look forward to working with Pablo [Libreros] to place Aggregate Industries at the heart of construction.’
Mr Libreros added: ‘These are incredibly exciting times for Aggregate Industries. The company’s culture of research and innovation is what distinguishes us from the rest of the market, and I'm looking forward to driving the business forward into a new chapter of growth and innovation in the UK.’
