Eric Fontaine will succeed Vincenzo Perrone as president of Rehlko’s Engines business.
Since joining the company in 2014 as president of Rehlko’s Diesel business and later becoming president of its combined Engines business in 2020, Perrone has led the division through some of its most successful years in its more than 100-year history.
A Rehlko spokesperson said the company was “deeply grateful” for Perrone’s “dedication and exceptional leadership over the past decade” and wished him every success in his future endeavours.
Fontaine brings extensive experience in industrial markets, having most recently served as vice president of the Industrial Components division at Regal Rexnord Corporation. His career also includes key leadership roles at Danaher Corporation and Brunswick Corporation.
Fontaine holds a Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA from Duke – The Fuqua School of Business.
“With a proven track record of driving sustainable growth, fostering operational excellence, and implementing strategic initiatives, Eric Fontaine will guide the Engines business into its next chapter,” said a Rehloko spokesperson.
