The board of directors of UFI Filters, a leading international group in the field of filtration, thermal management and technologies for the development of hydrogen mobility, met on 16th January to approve the appointment.<\/p>\n

Gava, 43, was previously chief operating officer EMEA of UFI Filters. The Italian national joined UFI Filters in 2015 as group chief financial officer, based in the Shanghai office in China, where he was able to count on many years of experience working in finance for companies in the architecture, engineering and construction sectors in China and South-East Asia.<\/p>\n

Gava has occupied a number of top positions within the UFI Group, and in 2020 he was promoted to COO Americas, based in Detroit, before moving to the group\u2019s Italian headquarters to assume the role of COO EMEA in 2022.<\/p>\n

Last June, Gava was recognised as a 2023 Rising Star by the industry publication Automotive News Europe.<\/p>\n

Commenting, Stefano Gava said: \u201cI would like to thank chairman Girondi and the board of directors for their trust. I am honoured to receive this appointment and to take up the baton in leading the company through the challenges that the ongoing technological transition is setting us.<\/p>\n

“Regarding this transformation, I consider it fundamental to continue investing in the technological innovations that will support the future of the company, and at the same time, integrate the new sustainability models promoted by our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
