John Fini named new president of KraussMaffei Corp.
John Fini will replace Brett Greenhalgh as president of KraussMaffei Corp. on June 1.
Greenhalgh, who has led the North American operation since September 2024, is retiring and plans to embark on a three-year overseas church mission project.
“I am grateful for my time at KraussMaffei and for the collaboration with such a dedicated team in the U.S. and internationally. Stepping back and giving my life a new direction has not been an easy decision,” he said. “But I look forward to serving our church community together with my wife, Janice. As a teenager, I participated in a similar project that profoundly shaped my life and values. Now I want to give others the same opportunity to experience something similar. The next three years abroad will be an exciting and rewarding time for both of us.”
Greenhalgh helped to prepare John Fini as a strong internal successor, according to a company press release. Fini has been VP of digital solutions and service for North America since 2022.
Prior to joining KraussMaffei, he built a track record of improving operational performance across manufacturing sites in Georgia, Florida, Texas and Los Angeles at Rehrig Pacific Company, a California based family-owned plastics manufacturing company and longtime customer of KraussMaffei.
“Krauss Maffei’s success has always been driven by its people, its technology, and its customers,” Fini said. “I’m honored to lead this organization and build on the strong foundation our teams have created together. I would like to thank Brett Greenhalgh for the coaching, guidance, and support as part of a thoughtful, long-term leadership transition designed to ensure continuity and sustained growth.”
“We thank Brett for his exceptional dedication and strategic foresight. Thanks to the early identification of John Fini as an internal successor, we can ensure seamless continuity in serving our customers with the reliability and quality they expect,” Alex Li, CEO of KraussMaffei Group. “The strong collaboration between our U.S. and European teams has been instrumental in advancing KMC’s success, and this partnership will remain a key pillar of our future development.”
With North American headquarters in Florence, Ky., KraussMaffei Corp. provides injection molding, extrusion, reaction process and additive manufacturing machinery.
