Speaking about Mr Pustetto’s appointment, Mr Del Din said: “We are convinced that Filippo is the right person to work with the company on the growth plan we have developed and are implementing, based on the industry plan in effect through 2022.”
“With in-depth experience in Italy and abroad, especially the management of brands with different distributions and positioning, Filippo is a professional with breadth and depth of vision as well as practical knowledge of Blackfin and our brand’s potential in the international designer eyewear sector,” he added.
