Rehlko has announced that Vincenzo Perrone has made the decision to retire from his role as President of the engines business.
Since joining the company in 2014 as President of the diesel business and later becoming President of the combined engines business in 2020, Perrone has been instrumental in leading the division through some of its most successful years in its more than 100-year history.
“Rehlko is deeply grateful for Vincenzo Perrone’s dedication and exceptional leadership over the past decade and wishes him every success in his future endeavors,” the company said in a news release.

Succeeding Perrone, Rehlko has appointed Eric Fontaine as the new President of the engines business. Fontaine brings extensive experience in industrial markets, having most recently served as Vice President of the Industrial Components Division at Regal Rexnord Corporation.
His career also includes key leadership roles at Danaher Corporation and Brunswick Corporation.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA from Duke – The Fuqua School of Business.
“With a proven track record of driving sustainable growth, fostering operational excellence and implementing strategic initiatives, Fontaine will guide the engines business into its next chapter,” the company said.
In late 2024, and after more than 100 years as Kohler Energy, the company rebranded under its new corporate name “Rehlko.”
The company designs, builds and maintains a comprehensive range of diesel, gasoline, hybrid and alternative fuels engines up to 140 hp of power — adopted globally by machine and equipment manufacturers in the construction, earthmoving, agriculture, generators and landscaping industries.
