Speaker Biography:


Aleksandr Kharazov is a Regional Sales Manager at ST BlowMoulding, where he leads commercial operations across the U.S. and Canadian markets. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1994, Aleksandr developed an early passion for transformation—first through art, attending courses in museums and acting schools that explored the process of turning raw materials into meaningful creations. This appreciation later translated into his work in the plastics industry.

After moving to Italy as a teenager, Aleksandr pursued a dual academic path, earning law degrees from the Russian Academy of Justice and the University of Insubria, with a specialization in environmental law. His professional journey in plastics began in 2020, spanning roles in film extrusion and blow molding. Today, Aleksandr combines his global background, legal insight, and technical expertise to support innovation and customer success in the industrial packaging and automotive sectors.

He is proud to represent ST BlowMoulding—a Swiss-Italian manufacturer of advanced blow molding equipment—where he contributes to expanding the company’s footprint in North America.
