Tube bending specialist sales restructure SCHWARZE-ROBITEC, a manufacturer of tube bending machines, has announced that sales manager Jürgen Korte has retired. Following this, the management structure of the company has been reorganised. The objective of this is to expand the market position of the company and to be the first name that customers think of when it comes to tube bending solutions both in Europe and internationally. Jürgen Korte started as a design manager at Schwarze-Robitec in 1982, and in 1993 assumed the position of sales manager. After 34 years of service with the company, he retired at the end of April 2016. “For decades I have been very passionate about everything I have done at Schwarze-Robitec – always with the knowledge to have a dedicated and dynamic team at my side. I am proud to see so many colleagues who want to celebrate my farewell with me. Needless to say, I shall stay in close contact with the company,” said Mr Korte. With the retirement of Mr Korte, Schwarze-Robitec is taking this opportunity to restructure its sales department. Heike Ahlers is the new sales and marketing manager and functions as the extended arm of the company’s management. Hired in 2013 by Schwarze-Robitec, she was significantly involved in 2015 with the opening of the current subsidiary in the USA. Schwarze-Robitec GmbH – Germany Website: www.schwarze-robitec.com
