Elio Bartoli, a seasoned leader with over 12 years of experience at Yokohama TWS, brings a wealth of expertise in commercial strategy, supply chain management, and customer relations. Having previously held key positions such as Commercial Leader of Industrial Tires and most recently, President of the EMEA Region and Global OE Leader, Bartoli has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, driving business growth and fostering innovation.

His comprehensive understanding of Yokohama TWS’ commercial and operational functions positions him to lead the company through its next evolution, with a clear focus on maintaining strong customer relations and delivering superior business outcomes.
Yokohama TWS also extended its heartfelt thanks to Paolo Pompei for his outstanding leadership over the past 25 years.

His contributions have left an enduring mark on the organisation.
"We deeply appreciate Paolo’s leadership and the incredible impact he has had on Yokohama TWS," said Mantri. "His legacy will continue to inspire us as we move forward into an exciting future.”
With Elio Bartoli at the helm, Yokohama TWS is well-positioned to build on its strong foundation and continue its trajectory of growth and innovation in the global tyre industry.
