Grote Industries Promotes Cesar Perez-Bolivar to Global Vice President of Engineering

Grote Industries recently announced the promotion of Cesar Perez-Bolivar, PhD., to Global Vice President of Engineering.

Perez-Bolivar has been with Grote Industries for 12 years and has spent the past year leading an operational excellence initiative for Star Safety Technologies by Grote. Before the Star assignment, Cesar held various leadership positions in Engineering and Operations, most recently leading operations at Grote Electronics in Waterloo, Canada.

As Global VP of Engineering, Perez-Bolivar will be responsible for designing, overseeing, and executing engineering processes for the global engineering team. As Grote continues to implement new technology and business systems, his experience and leadership will guide the growth of the headlamp, warning & hazard, and networks product portfolios, as well as other innovative new solutions.

According to Grote Industries COO John Grote, “Cesar has helped reshape and implement our operations strategy at Star Safety Technologies, and that operation is now on track for significant growth. We look forward to him leading the entire global engineering effort across all our teams.”

Perez-Bolivar was similarly optimistic about his new position, saying, “I am excited to continue my work with the Grote leadership team to further our key operational goals by leveraging our talented engineering organizations around the world. We have opportunities for growth in several key markets, like headlamps, warning & hazard, and networks, and I look forward to aligning our efforts with those opportunities to achieve world-class results.”
