Kyoto Group appointed Giuseppe Casubolo as Chief Strategic Partnership Officer to the Group, to accelerate the electrification of industrial process heat, through partnership initiatives in its eco-system, consisting of world leaders in the energy transition such as Iberdrola and Spirax Sarco, among others. Mr. Casubolo, known in the market as a reference expert for thermal energy storage using molten salt, has been commercializing industrial nitrates for thermal energy storage in the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) industry for as long as it has existed, through SQM, a major supplier of solar salt. Over the years, Mr. Casubolo has been involved in the business development and applied nearly 1 million tons of solar salt to the market, equal to around 1 300 Heatcubes.

He knows the technology and the market like few others. Mr. Casubolo will assume the role of Chief Strategic Partnership Officer April 2nd and join the leadership team of Kyoto Group. Within due time Kyoto will also announce some of the initiatives Giuseppe will be leading.

At the same time, the company also grateful to welcome David Måhede to the leadership team when he returns from paternity leave April 2nd. Mr. Måhede is leading Kyoto's Business Excellence area, encompassing the ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certified Kyoto Business System (KBS) and the digitization of both Heatcube and the company. Mr. Måhede has been with Kyoto since October 2022, after having been involved in and led similar initiatives at Norsk Hydro, DNB and Yara International before joining Kyoto Group.

Andrés Barros Borrero, who has been the General Manager of Kyoto Technology Spain since March 2022 has also assumed the role of the global Chief Engineering Officer of the Group, and joined the leadership team late last year. Mr. Barros is working closely together with CTO Bjarke Buchbjerg to secure that Kyoto maintains the role and position as one of the most competitive thermal energy storage technologies on the market. Further, Mr. Barros and Mr. Casubolo have worked closely together on several business development projects involving molten salt throughout the years and their combined knowledge and experience is of tremendous value for the energy transition.
