Premier expands its team

The Vicenza-based diamond tools specialist has hired two new professionals with a view to its future development.

Premier, a Vicenza-based company with 25 years of experience in the production of diamond tools for machining ceramic tiles, recently appointed Stefano Cattani and Sahli Arifi, two professionals who will bring a high level of expertise and new ideas to support the company’s development.

Stefano Cattani, born in Turin in 1966, joined Premier’s R&D department in October 2020 and is involved in developing resinoid-based diamond tools. After graduating in industrial chemistry with a specialisation in analytical and macromolecular chemistry, he gained longstanding experience in the chemical industry. From 2017 to October 2020 he held the position of industrial abrasives R&D manager for the ceramic sector at the Surfaces group.

In September 2020, Sahli Arifi was appointed as the new sales manager for Spain and North Africa. He began his career as a glaze production technician at Colorobbia, then worked as a service engineer for Cretaprint before joining B&T Iberica as sales manager for North Africa.
