ICOP STRENGTHENS ITS MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE: LUCA FONTANA APPOINTED NEW GROUP CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Basiliano (Udine), January 19, 2026 – I.CO.P. S.p.A. Società Benefit announces the appointment of Luca Fontana as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Group, a leader in the underground engineering and infrastructure sector.

This appointment is part of the Group's ongoing path to strengthen its management structure and is consistent with the guidelines of the new Industrial Plan, aimed at consolidating the organizational framework and improving the effectiveness of operational and integration processes, within a context of growth and international development.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, Luca Fontana will support the coordination of the Group's activities, contributing to the development and alignment of governance models, decision-making processes, and cross-functional structures in support of growth and organizational evolution.

His role will also include coordinating integration processes among the Group's various companies, with particular reference to the recent acquisitions of Palingeo in Italy and AGH in the United States, as well as providing operational and managerial support for future international development initiatives and assessing the implications related to selective growth and consolidation transactions.

"ICOP is built on extremely solid industrial foundations, rooted in strong values, distinctive capabilities, specialization, and financial discipline. The growth achieved in recent years is not episodic, but the result of a clear and consistent strategy. The order backlog, together with the tangible new opportunities ahead, combined with a selective approach to project acquisition and increasing geographic diversification, provides a solid outlook for further and significant development in the coming years," said Luca Fontana, in his first remarks as ICOP's new Group Chief Operating Officer. "We are facing a future of continuous value creation, with a constant focus on execution excellence to meet our clients' needs, supported by sector-leading profitability that is sustainable over the long term," he concluded.

Luca Fontana brings nearly thirty years of international experience in senior leadership roles within complex industrial and infrastructure groups, with a strong focus on operational management, the integration of complex organizations, and the execution of large-scale investment programs.

From 2020 to 2025, he served as Director of CAPEX Investments (Engineering & Construction Business Unit) at Autostrade per l'Italia, where he was responsible for the entire infrastructure investment cycle. Previously, he held regional Chief Executive and Project & Construction Management roles at AECOM, and accumulated over twenty years of experience at Foster Wheeler, assuming progressively senior management positions in project delivery, operations management, and strategic development, including as Managing Director of Asia Pacific operations. He is Vice Chair of the Investment Committee of BIAC (Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD) and an External Advisor to Bain & Company.
