Iwatani Corporation has announced two new executive appointments, including the addition of former Praxair executive Joseph S. Cappello.
Capello has been named Executive Officer of Iwatani Corporation and also appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Iwatani Corporation of America (ICA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Iwatani Corporation.
Mineharu Okamoto, President of Iwatani Corporation of America, will assume the additional title of Chief Operating Officer, it has been revealed.
