Fortek GmbH, the European sales office
of US-based Fort Wayne Wire Die, has
strengthened its European sales team
by recruiting Russian-speaking sales
representative Elena Kerimov.
A dual Russian and German citizen who
is also fluent in English, Elena gives
wire drawing companies in the former
Russian Federation a lingual and technical
conduit to US-quality wire drawing die
engineering.
She represents the latest in Fortek’s
efforts to expand its inside sales
capabilities to bring the highest quality
wire drawing die products and services
to all of Europe – an initiative that is part
of the company’s continued growth
track following the celebration of its 30th
anniversary.
In addition to Elena, Fortek has also recently
hired administrative specialist Markus
Kneip.
His addition enhances Fortek’s sales and
service capabilities by allowing sales
manager Louis Steffann, and Western
Europe account manager Ingrid Christian,
to dedicate more time to their core
competencies and their customers.
“Being able to increase our internal
manpower, Fortek is better prepared
to deliver the kind of die engineering
and applications expertise that wires
drawing companies need today,
through the kind of reliable, local and
personalised service relationship they
expect,” said Louis.
