RONAL Bathrooms Italy under Long-Term Planned New Leadership
Press Release
RONAL Bathrooms Italy is beginning a new chapter in its leadership. As of 2 February, Roberto Mirabella has assumed the position of Managing Director, succeeding Stefano Boccalon, who has handed over the operational management of RONAL Bathrooms Italy to Roberto Mirabella.
Härkingen/Gunzgen, 3rd February 2026
For more than 20 years, Stefano Boccalon drove the development of the brands GLASS1989 and KAROL, which stand for sophisticated and high-quality wellness and bathroom solutions. With foresight and strong commitment, he played a decisive role in shaping both brands – since 2023 as part of RONAL Bathrooms within the Swiss RONAL Group.
With the appointment of Roberto Mirabella, RONAL Bathrooms Italy gains an experienced executive with long-standing expertise in both the national and international interiors sector. Most recently, he served as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at ARPER, where he was responsible for commercial leadership with a strong focus on strategy and market development. In his new role, Roberto Mirabella will drive the next phase of growth for RONAL Bathrooms Italy and sustainably strengthen the company’s market position in Italy.
Olivier Gunther (COO) and Sebastian Hainz (CSO) of the RONAL Bathrooms Group thank Stefano Boccalon for the excellent collaboration over recent years and for his lasting contribution to the company’s current and future success. They extend a very warm welcome to Roberto Mirabella and wish him every success in his new role.
At the same time, the RONAL Bathrooms Group continues to systematically strengthen its management board as well as its leadership and organizational structure. Since 3 January, Michael Kleber has joined the Group Management Board as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). He will further enhance technological expertise and operational excellence across the organization and, together with Olivier Gunther (COO) and Sebastian Hainz (CSO), lay the foundation for further internationalization and sustainable growth. In this way, the Group’s innovative strength, service level, and quality standards will continue to be consistently advanced.
Together, Roberto Mirabella and Michael Kleber will place a particular focus on the continued development of the two Italian sites in Oderzo and Colle di Val d’Elsa, where products of the brands GLASS1989 (wellness) and KAROL (bathroom furniture) are manufactured.
