In July last year, Cortec Corporation began a new phase in its corporate journey with the appointment of Caleb Pheneger as President of the company.
A decision that, over time, has proven to be a clear indicator of the direction taken by the group: continuity, internal growth and a long-term vision.
Founded in 1977 by Boris Miksic, Cortec has built its global leadership in corrosion protection technologies by focusing on continuous innovation, process quality and sustainability. Values that remain central to the company’s organisational structure today.
Pheneger’s appointment does not represent a change of direction, but rather the natural evolution of a professional path developed entirely within the company.
Joining Cortec in 2012 as a chemical engineer, Pheneger progressively took on increasingly strategic roles in production and operations, leading to the creation of the COO position in 2022 and his subsequent appointment as President.
This approach reflects Miksic’s vision: developing expertise from within the organisation, while enhancing technical know-how and deep market knowledge.
What this means for the Italian market
This approach also has a tangible impact on the Italian market, where Carte Dozio has been operating for years as the exclusive distributor of Cortec® products.
Cortec’s leadership continuity and clear industrial strategy further strengthen a partnership built on long-term reliability, certified quality of corrosion protection solutions, continuous technical and specialist support, and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable materials.
For Italian companies, this translates into the opportunity to rely on advanced metal protection solutions, combined with a consultancy-based service developed around the specific needs of different industrial sectors.
A shared vision, today and tomorrow
Investing in research, people and processes, with the aim of strengthening a solid and consistent global presence: this is the vision that Cortec shares with Carte Dozio and brings to the Italian market, supporting customers in selecting the most suitable Cortec solutions while providing competent and reliable local expertise.
