O-I Asia-Pacific to appoint new president from May
Galindo, who is currently general manager of O-I Colombia and has held the same role in Peru, will replace Stephen P. Bramlage Jr.
Since being named general manager of O-I Colombia in 2009, Galindo has nearly doubled earnings, expanded the country's glass packaging specialties business and drove significant productivity improvements, said O-I.
O-I's Asia Pacific region has 12 sites which accounts for nearly $1 billion of the company's global sales.
CEO and chairman, Al Stroucken, said: "He helped the Colombian organization adapt to a changing marketplace, adjusting its footprint while growing sales, and he has shown a passion for developing businesses opportunities.
“These experiences will be directly applicable to our Asia Pacific operations."
