Francesco Luiso is the new president and chief executive officer of Arexons

Arexons has announced the appointment of Francesco Luiso as its new president and chief executive officer, following the resignation of former ceo Mario Patrick Parenti.

Mario Patrick Parenti was instrumental in successfully leading the company’s transition from a subsidiary of a large multinational group to an autonomous and independent company following the change of ownership in May 2025.

Steffen Goerig, founder and managing director of Qcp Quantum Capital Partners, commented: "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Mario for his significant contribution to Arexons’ development from 2020 to the present day and for his role during this period of transformation for the company. We wish him all the best in his future challenges."

The new company leadership

Francesco Luiso has more than 20 years of national and international experience in the branded consumer products sector, particularly in the home & personal care, food & beverage sectors, gained at companies such as Bolton Group, Danone, Paglieri and McDonald's.

After starting his career in marketing and brand management, he progressively took on corporate leadership roles with full responsibility for the profit and loss account (P&L), eventually holding general management positions. His experience spans brand and product portfolio development, commercial growth, operational transformation and post-acquisition integration, with a strong focus on profitable growth and value creation.

Steffen Goerig added: "We are delighted to welcome Francesco to Arexons. Following the company’s centenary celebrations last year, his extensive national and international experience in consumer goods, combined with his success in driving growth and leading corporate transformation, makes him the ideal person to lead Arexons into its next century of development."

Francesco Luiso commented: "I am delighted to join Arexons at such a crucial time, as the company builds on a century-long history of leadership in car care and DIY products. I look forward to working with the team to honour this heritage and continue to build on these strong foundations."
