Generac Promotes Niccolò Borracchini to Executive Vice President - International

WAUKESHA, Wis. — July 6, 2026 — Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global designer, manufacturer and provider of energy technology solutions and other power products, today announced the promotion of Niccolò Borracchini to Executive Vice President – International, leading the Generac and Pramac-branded business outside the U.S. and Canada, effective immediately. In his new role, Borracchini will report directly to Aaron Jagdfeld as a member of the Executive Leadership Team.

Borracchini's promotion follows the retirement of Paolo Campinoti from his executive leadership role, effective July 1, 2026, after more than 30 years of distinguished service to the Pramac Group. Campinoti joined Pramac in 1993 and most recently served as Executive Vice President – International since Generac's acquisition of Pramac in 2016, while concurrently serving as CEO of the Pramac Group. Campinoti will continue to support the business providing strategic counsel tied to the continued growth of Generac's International Commercial and Industrial business.

"Paolo joined Pramac in 1993 and spent more than three decades transforming it from a local Italian company into a globally recognized power generation brand with a presence across EMEA, APAC and LATAM," said Aaron Jagdfeld, Generac's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "He built the commercial relationships and international brand that define our Pramac business today, and we are fortunate that his expertise will continue to benefit Generac as he transitions into a consulting and advisory role as President - International Development for the company."

Borracchini has served within the Pramac organization since 2015, initially as Corporate General Manager. Following Generac's acquisition of Pramac in 2016, he played a central role in supporting the integration and international expansion of the Group outside the United States and Canada, taking on increasing leadership responsibility for all international support functions and commercial areas of the business. He was appointed Senior Vice President – International in 2024.

"I'm honored to step into this expanded role and to have the opportunity to build on the exceptional foundation that Paolo has created over more than three decades," said Borracchini. "I look forward to working with our international teams to continue to grow Generac's international presence globally, strengthen our customer relationships and deliver on our shared mission to Power a Smarter World."

Prior to joining Pramac, Borracchini worked in private equity at MPVenture and later at Emisys Capital, focusing on mid-market investments across industrials, consumer and media sectors. He holds a Master of Science in Management and a Bachelor of Economics and Business Administration from the University of Siena, both magna cum laude. He spent a year of his Erasmus program at the WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany. Since 2024, he has served as a Board Member and Vice President of the ITS Energia e Ambiente Foundation in Italy.
