The new management team is made up of familiar faces from within ADJ Europe and consists of Marc Librecht, European sales manager (Elation); Kris Dawber, European sales manager (ADJ); Jo Mulders, general manager; and Sebastian Mobers, purchase manager.
The new management team in Europe has been hand-picked by ADJ president Toby Velazquez. Speaking of the change, Velazquez said: "These are exciting times for ADJ in Europe. The last couple of years have seen rapid expansion, new warehousing and hundreds of new products. At the heart of any good company is a solid leadership team and to cope with our growth plans it was essential that we move forward with a new management structure.
"The new team consists of veteran staff from our European operations, who bring experience and a teamwork mentality to our daily operations, ensuring closer collaboration with myself and other top management members including Eric Loader, our director of sales for Elation and Acclaim, as well as Brian Dowdle and Alfred Gonzales from our ADJ USA headquarters team. This is a significant step for the ADJ Group of Companies and further strengthens our foundations in Europe."
Dirk Kast, the former general manager of ADJ Europe companies who was instrumental in building the European arm of the company, has now handed over his duties to the capable new management team. The company says: "ADJ would like to thank Dirk for all of his hard work in building the business to where it is today. Dirk is moving on to new opportunities and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours."
