Sherwin Williams' recently retired regional president of EMEAI joins ChemQuest.
January 15, 2021
By: Coatings World staff
The ChemQuest Group hired Ezio Braggio, Sherwin Williams’ recently retired regional president of Europe, Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI), as ChemQuest Europe’s newest VP.
For more than 35 years, multilingual strategist Braggio has cultivated a culture of excellence as a regional C-Suite executive of three Fortune 500 corporations: Sherwin-Williams, the former Valspar Corporation, and PPG Industries.
From 2011–2017, as president, EMEAI (and corporate VP) of then-VAL, Braggio identified and executed strategic acquisitions and profitable joint ventures for ten business units (BU) in the region, including acquiring and integrating INVER and ISVA; and developing long-term contract terms with Crown Packaging Corporation, Ball Corporation, Massilly, Mivisa Envases, Ardagh Group, and Litalsa.
Braggio’s leadership of Valspar EMEAI culminated in a well-run, newly restructured European Leadership Team to include new executive recruits that contributed to significant growth in its Packaging portfolio following non-BPA conversion; full integration of INVER in GI; significant new market share in the coil coatings market; and divestiture of Valspar’s non-core businesses (Graphic Arts and Laser Sintering Powder) for increased efficiency and reinvestment.
Following SHW’s acquisition of VAL (2017–2019), Braggio coordinated the EMEAI business with more than 4,000 employees and more than 20 manufacturing plants and by 2018 significantly contributed to integrate VAL EMEAI into SHW, thereby exceeding all synergy goals.
Before 2005, Ezio Braggio served in various leadership roles over 21-years at PPG, including GM, Refinish Paint and Accident Management EMEA, accelerating growth in new segments (Fleet and Light Industrial Coatings), increasing sales and profitability by 400 percent, thanks to the acquisitions of MaxMeyer and ICI Autocolor.
