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.
