TVH, the global leader in parts for off-road industrial vehicles, has announced the appointment of Giuliano Parodi as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 September 2026.
Parodi joins the Belgium-headquartered company at a pivotal moment in its growth journey. TVH operates globally, including a growing hub in Pune and a warehouse in Mumbai, and serves customers across 180 countries.
With nearly 25 years of experience spanning the industrial equipment and automotive sectors, Parodi most recently served as Group Chief Strategy Officer and Board member at Yanmar, where he helped shape the company’s strategic direction and oversaw regional operations outside Japan. Prior to that, he was CEO and Chairman of Yanmar Compact Equipment, leading a global business with approximately $1.5 billion in revenue and operations across Japan, Europe and North America.
His career also includes senior leadership roles at Bobcat Company and Fiat Group, where he built a reputation for driving international growth, business transformation and operational scale, particularly in aftermarket services and customer solutions.
“I am very proud to join TVH at such an exciting moment in its journey,” said Parodi. “TVH has built a unique position globally, combining strong customer relationships, deep product expertise and an entrepreneurial culture. I look forward to working with the team to define the next phase of growth, with a clear focus on customers, execution and long-term value creation.”
Patrick Lecluyse, Executive Chairman of TVH, welcomed the appointment, saying: “We are very happy to welcome Giuliano to TVH. He is a leader who builds trust and understands our business deeply. We are confident that his experience and vision will help us grow even stronger in the years to come.”
Following a transition period, Lecluyse will step back from executive responsibilities and return to his role as Chairman of the Board.
Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Waregem, Belgium, TVH is a leading parts specialist for material handling, industrial, construction and agricultural equipment. The company employs more than 5,000 people worldwide and operates through 90 branches across all continents.
