In announcing the shift, Dr. Giorgio Squinzi, CEO of the MAPEI Group, praised Di Tempora for his ability to build the company's position in the floor covering installation business. "We want to thank Nick Di Tempora for his many, many years of successful leadership in guiding MAPEI Americas to its current strong position in the market. We are happy that he will ensure continuity for the company by staying on as an advisor, while Rainer Blair assumes the reins of management," Squinzi said in a statement.
