Pello Rodríguez is to replace Iñigo Ucín at the head of these two divisions as of 1 August this year, when the latter takes office as President of the MONDRAGON Corporation’s General Council.
Pello Rodriguez was born in the Basque town of Urretxu (Gipuzkoa) in 1975, and later graduated as an industrial engineer specialising in mechanics from Bilbao’s Higher College of Industrial Engineers and as an industrial engineer specialising in organisation from the Arts et Métiers ParisTech graduate engineering school.
His professional career is linked to Danobat, where he started off as head of production and project manager for General Electric. In 2003, he was appointed operations coordinator for Newall UK Ltd., in Peterborough, where his remit involved integrating the recently acquired firm into Danobat’s structure. From the UK he moved to Overbeck GmbH, a Danobat firm in Herborn, Germany, as plant
manager and director of Danobat’s grinder unit. In 2010 he was appointed manager of Danobat’s lathe plant, and in due course, he became Danobat’s CEO in 2013.
