With personnel changes and a structural reorganisation, GRAFE Advanced Polymers GmbH, headquartered in Blankenhain, wants to offer its customers even more targeted service orientation.
„With this reorganisation, we want to meet the individual requirements of our customers in this area as quickly as possible,“ explains Stefanie Theuerkauf, which in March 2019 Sales management for the D-A-CH region has taken over. Theuerkauf was previously Head of Marketing at the company and has been responsible for Key Account Packaging in addition to her marketing duties since the beginning of 2018. The marketing management takes over Manfred Fischer. His aim is to further develop GRAFE's marketing mix offline and online and to expand the marketing strategy beyond the borders of the European Union.
In addition, a completely new position as Head of Product Management was created. Danny Ludwig, who has been with the company for 26 years and was previously Head of Development Colour & Functional Masterbatches, will take over the position. „Our aim is to work with customers to create added value that gives us as a team the edge in the respective application or product group,“ says Ludwig.
Sales strengthened
At the same time, the family-owned company GRAFE has expanded its sales team. Jean Annequin is the new contact person for France, Steffen Schubert is responsible for the Central Germany region and Anna Gulyas is in charge of the Hungary and Romania sales area.
„With our new colleagues, we are positioning ourselves even better and expanding our sales expertise,“ said GRAFE Sales Director Lars Tonnecker.
