By appointing a new sales director, Schwarzm\u00fcller Group expands its general management from two to three members. Markus Wieshofer, previously managing director of Rosenbauer \u00d6sterreich GmbH, will become the new head of all sales activities of Schwarzm\u00fcller Group. Although his new position will not start until 1 June, there is constant interaction with the company already. \u201cWe are restructuring international sales and need the new head to be part of it. We are delighted to have Mr. Wieshofer with us to add his professional sales experience and success to our organisation\u201d, Schwarzm\u00fcller CEO Roland Hartwig said today, Monday, 7 February, at the Hanzing headquarters in Freinberg near Sch\u00e4rding (Upper Austria).<\/p>\n
After his training as industrial management assistant at Rosenbauer \u00d6sterreich, a sales and service company selling its products directly to fire brigades, Markus Wieshofer, born 1975, stayed with the company and served various functions. In 2010, he became the head of sales and, in 2014, the company\u2019s general manager. In 2015, he was also appointed sales manager for Central and Eastern Europe at Rosenbauer International AG and kept that job until 2018.<\/p>\n
Increasing interest from our customers demands firm economic punch <\/strong><\/p>\n It will be one of the new sales director\u2019s responsibilities to restructure international sales of Schwarzm\u00fcller Group. To significantly improve its customer support, the company will rearrange its sales regions in Germany and Austria and restructure its sales office organisation and processes. Extending the modular system is aimed at facilitating vehicle configuration. And last but not least, all sales partners will be integrated in the IT landscape for speedier electronic order handling. \u201cEven during the pandemic, we are noticing an increasing demand for our trailers. We want to answer this demand by improving sales effectiveness\u201d, Hartwig gave as reason for this head-on approach. The Group sells over 10,000 vehicles a year in 21 countries. This makes Schwarzm\u00fcller Europe\u2019s biggest niche manufacturer of trailers.<\/p>\n Team of three to manage the Group<\/strong><\/p>\n The new sales director expands the Group\u2019s management team from two to three persons. Apart from CEO Roland Hartwig and Markus Wieshofer, there is also Mag. Michael Hummelbrunner, Schwarzm\u00fcller CFO since 2021.<\/p>\n Please click here to download images:<\/strong> Further information<\/strong> About Schwarzm\u00fcller<\/strong>
