Lipotec has increased its presence in the US through the establishment of Lipotec LLC, amove that’s in tune with the company’s strategy of expansion and commitment to the marketplace.
With immediate effect, Lipotec LLC, based in Jersey City, NJ, will manage full-scale operations for the US market, enabling Lipotec to deal with regional partners and clients locally.
Lipotec has been active in the US cosmetic market for more than 20 years through its exclusive distributor Centerchem, Inc., with whom it will continue to work closely.
Full operations management of Lipotec LLC will be responsibility of Domenico Palella, who has been internally promoted to general manager. Palella joined Lipotec in 2008 and early in 2009 was appointed to managing director of Lipotec Srl, the firm’s subsidiary in Italy. His extensive knowledge of the industry and his business expertise make him an outstanding choice to head the new office team, according to the firm.
“We are confident and excited about the possibilities of collaborating on a day-to-day basis with our US customers,” said Dr. Juan Carlos Escudero, CEO of Lipotec. “We look forward to developing with them specific and exclusive projects”.
