Novolex announced the appointment of Marco Hilty, as president of the International, Industrial & Beverage (IIB) business unit, effective May 1. Hilty is responsible for setting the IIB business unit's strategy, strengthening commercial execution, and driving financial results. He is based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will report to chairman and CEO, Stan Bikulege.
"Marco brings extensive global leadership experience, deep operational expertise, and a strong track record of profitable growth. Just as importantly, he is a people-centred leader who knows how to engage teams and build strong cultures, making him well suited to lead this business unit into its next phase for our Novolex families," said Bikulege.
Hilty has more than 20 years of senior leadership experience across the packaging, materials, and industrial sectors. Most recently, he served as president of Flexible Packaging at Huhtamaki, leading a €1.5 billion global business across seventeen countries, where he improved margins, standardised commercial and operational practices, strengthened leadership capability, and advanced sustainable packaging innovation.
Previously, Hilty was chief commercial officer at Rubicon, a technology-enabled waste and recycling company, where he significantly improved profitability and commercial performance. Earlier in his career, he held multiple senior leadership and general management roles at Amcor, leading regional and global businesses, executing turnarounds, integrating acquisitions, and scaling innovation and commercial excellence. He began his career at McKinsey & Company, advising industrial and B2B clients on strategy and commercial transformation.
"I'm honoured to join Novolex and lead this business at a time of strong momentum and opportunity. With a solid foundation, talented teams, and a clear path forward, we are well positioned to deliver for customers, accelerate performance, and create lasting value for our stakeholders," said Hilty.
