As we reported in January, Martin Professional A/S is in the process of creating a regional sales organisation, Martin EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) based at Martin's headquarter office in Aarhus, Denmark. During 2009, Martin's current European subsidiaries will be integrated into the new structure while Martin's distributors within the area will be served by the new European regional organisation at a later stage.
Villads Thomsen, previously managing director at Martin Professional's Scandinavian subsidiary, heads the organisation as vice-president EMEA.
Browne commented: "These are challenging times that are creating many new opportunities. The re-organisation of the European subsidiaries is a very positive move, which will enable us to become even more customer focused, respond quicker and remain very much in front of our competitors."
