Willich, December 2012 – FKuR Kunststoff GmbH has been expanding its sales team systematically in the second half of 2012. For this purpose, the bioplastics specialist has brought three new team members on board.
Oliver Reppel joined the team in October 2012 and has taken over regional sales for Germany, Austria & Switzerland. Mr. Reppel will not only maintain customer care and direct dialogue with existing customers, but also establish active contact to new customers on site. As a graduate in Business Administration, he gained extensive experience working for a renowned compounder and has several years’ experience in thermoplastics sales.
In addition, Diana Engels has taken over the distribution region of Eastern Europe as of September 2012. With a diploma in Business Administration and being a native of Russia, she is responsible for the further expansion of sales activities in Eastern Europe. Thus, FKuR is able to meet the rising demands in Eastern Europe and to move closer to its customers.
Furthermore, Sara Pehe complements the FKuR team in sales administration. In addition to the processing of customer orders, as a French native speaker, Mrs. Pehe supports the regional sales agents in France and Belgium. FKuR is in the position to offer its customers a complete service in their native language and thus sharpen the international focus.
“These personnel developments enable us to meet our own high standards for maximum customer care and customer service orientation. The additions to our team allow us to respond more quickly to customer needs and achieve our sustainable growth goals” said Patrick Zimmermann, Director of Marketing & Sales.
