Global Appliance (GA), a business platform of Nidec and owner of the Embraco HVACR solutions brand, has appointed Ricardo Bristotti as its new president.
He takes on the leadership to drive the next phase of growth and strengthen GA’s global portfolio.
For the last 15 years, Bristotti has built a career spanning both the appliance and industrial segments, starting in 2011 at Embraco (acquired by Nidec in 2019).
Since then, he has worked in multiple areas such as Strategic Planning, Supply Chain, and Business & Marketing, culminating in 2021 in his appointment as vice president of the Home Appliances segment.
In 2023, he transitioned to the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) platform, serving as business segment leader for the European and Asian perimeters, expanding his expertise into large-scale industrial motors.
Commenting on his appointment, Bristotti said his focus will be on accelerating growth in both the commercial refrigeration and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) segments, while continuing to strengthen the market presence of the company’s portfolio for residential, food service, medical and industrial applications.
Bristotti will lead the next stage of GA's global strategy, strengthening innovation, customer proximity, and the competitiveness of the existing product brands and its solutions portfolio.
"We have a solid portfolio and highly skilled teams to respond to the industry's current deep transformations,” he said.
“Our focus will be to further expand what we do best: develop technologies and innovations to create solutions that help our customers deliver more energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability to the market.”
