Wittmann Battenfeld establishes sales and service subsidiary in Romania

The Austrian Wittmann Group (www.wittmann-battenfeld.com) continues to expand within the EU: As from 1 May 2009, a sales and service subsidiary is opened in Bucharest, Romania. ‘Wittmann Battenfeld Srl’ serves to strengthen the role of the Wittmann Group in the growing Romanian market. The Wittmann Group has developed a considerable market for itself there in recent years, both for injection moulding machines and for peripheral equipment.

The new subsidiary’s 32-year-old general manager, Bogdan Nestor (Bild), already looks back on many years of experience in the plastics industry.

Prior to being named to this post, Nestor worked for the Romanian sales and service distributor D&D Plastics. As head of sales and marketing, he was responsible for the Romanian customers of Negri Bossi, Eurochiller and Dipre, among others.

“We see Romania as the country with the greatest growth potential of all of the new EU states. This market entry is another step in our consistent expansion policy in Eastern Europe. The establishment of a sales and service subsidiary in Bucharest positions us even closer to the market and within direct reach of our customers. This new subsidiary and our own service team will enable us to provide localised assistance to our customers – with strong service, short-term deliveries and fullservice support,” explains Dr. Werner Wittmann.
