Raimondi Cranes, heritage manufacturer of tower and luffing cranes, announced the appointment of Domenico Ciano as the Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Ciano will succeed Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, who served as Raimondi?s CEO since 2009.

?As Raimondi?s Chief Executive for more than a decade, I am pleased to see our succession planning process activated. I am confident and proud that Raimondi will have a leader that both values its heritage and that will further invigorate the significant upward trajectory we have experienced these past years,? said Alkhoshaibi, remarking on Ciano?s appointment.

With over 17 years of experience in the crane industry, Ciano joined Raimondi Cranes in October 2014 as the company?s Technical Director. He was soon promoted to Chief Operations Officer, where he was instrumental in developing Raimondi?s research and development capabilities and has been responsible for delivering a number of extremely popular products to the global market.

?Having joined Raimondi Cranes five years ago, I was originally brought on to catalyse the company?s research and development segment, leading with intelligently-designed cranes and subsequently accessories. My mission at that time was heavily skewed to design engineering, and bringing products to market that would both elevate the company?s reputation and re-position Raimondi as a global leader in the tower and luffing crane segments,? said Ciano.
