Klöckner Pentaplast appoints Michael Zacka as interim CEO
After four decades in the packaging industry, Roberto Villaquiran is stepping down as CEO of Klöckner Pentaplast. The company has moved quickly to fill the vacancy, appointing board member and industry veteran Michael Zacka to lead the firm on an interim basis effective June 22, 2026.
Zacka brings three decades of experience to the role, having previously held senior positions at Amcor plc and Tetra Pak. During his tenure at Amcor, he oversaw a portfolio exceeding €5 billion in revenue. His background includes managing large-scale restructurings and global commercial strategies, skills the board expects will maintain momentum as the company continues its focus on sustainable packaging solutions.
