Those who have left us are not absent, they are merely invisible: their eyes filled with glory are fixed on ours filled with tears. (Saint Augustine)
Rest in Peace Chairman
This was the short, dignified yet heartfelt tribute made by the employees of Ceramiche del Conca Group on hearing of the unexpected death of Enzo Donald Mularoni in San Marino on 26 August after a short illness.
Born in 1952 in Detroit, USA to a family from San Marino that had emigrated to the USA and returned to Italy in 1960, Mularoni founded Ceramica del Conca in 1979. Until the time of his death he served as Chairman of the Del Conca Group, a multinational with 500 employees, a turnover of 150 million euros and operations in San Marino, Italy’s Romagna region and Tennessee. The facility he started up in 2014 in Loudon county, Tennessee - “opened in the space of just a few months”, as he always liked to point out - is set to double its output from 3 to 6 million sq.m/year in January 2017.
Mularoni became a member of the Governing Board of Assopiastrelle in 1991, then in 1994 was appointed director of ANIS, the San Marino-based industrial association for which he also served as chairman from 1997 to 2000. His industrial colleagues remember him as a “serious, capable and determined businessman, but above all a cordial, affable and kind human being who always believed in the value of business, trade associations and country”.
We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Stefania and his sons Paolo, Marco and Davide.
In memory of a unique businessman, we are publishing his last interview given in early July.
