Dr.-Ing. Jens-Erk Bartels With the aim of achieving its ambitious goals for growth despite the currently difficult business environment, propulsion specialist SCHOTTEL has secured prominent reinforcement. With effect from 1 April 2009, Dr.-Ing. Jens-Erk Bartels (55) will be taking over the position as Director of Marketing and Sales from Christophe Mourot, who will still have overall responsibility for both the Sales and Service divisions as Executive Vice President.
Dr.-Ing. Bartels is very well-known in the industry and gained respect worldwide for his previous successful work as managing director of Voith Turbo Schneider Propulsion GmbH, which he left at the end of 2008 after 18 years at the company. In a statement to his international business associates, he declared at the time: “It is still too early for me to say goodbye to all of you. Please believe me that there are still a lot of things to be done.”
Indeed: there are a large number of interesting tasks and exciting challenges waiting for him at his new company. “With the support of Jens-Erk Bartels as Director of Marketing and Sales and Ralf Wöllert as Service Director, Christophe Mourot will be increasing his efforts to expand the global organization. Alongside optimizing communication and the international image of the company, the primary objective is close coordination of the sales and service activities in the interests of our ever expanding clientele. This step and other strategic measures give us, as an independent German company with global operations, the chance to sustain our position in the top league of worldwide producers of marine propulsion systems,” says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Jensen, CEO, in a statement of confidence. |
