ontinental Tyre South Africa (CTSA) has welcomed its
new managing director, Matt Livigni, who brings a wealth
reer with Continental.
Prior to joining Continental Tyre SA, Livigni was MD of Con
tinental Tire Canada for six years and served as executive di
rector of the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada over the
same period. Livigni succeeds Martin Buday, who headed up
the South African operations from 2020, and has since been ap
pointed to lead Continental’s South East Europe division.
Livigni has held various roles at Continental, including sales,
marketing and product management, with a particular empha
sis on the commercial vehicle tyre (CVT) segment. Between
2008 and 2013 he was Continental Tire’s Northern Region man
ager in the United States for CVT, followed by three years as
the CVT Country manager for Canada before being appointed
MD in 2017.
Having moved to South Africa in January this year, Livigni’s
main objectives for his local tenure are focused on sustainabili
ty. “The number one priority for me is to ensure the sustainabil
ity of local manufacturing of premium tyres for the domestic
market, supported by cost-competitive exports that enable fu
ture investments and the long-term stability of our plant here
in South Africa.
“At Continental, we are excited about adapting the materials
and production of our tyres to contribute to a better, more sus
tainable future,” Livigni says. “For me, this is one of the biggest
challenges ahead, which will affect our whole value chain.”
As a people-oriented company, Livigni believes in empow
ering Continental’s employees while also making a positive
contribution to the broader community. “We need to contin
ue providing opportunities for both professional and person
al development and growth for our staff at every level, while
inclusion. At the same time, we have a key role to play in sup
porting economic growth as a means of creating new job op
portunities for all South Africans to tackle the high levels of
unemployment.”
