Accu-Sort® Names New Managing Director To Strengthen Support For Auto ID Customers In Europe
Accu-Sort Systems, a leader in technological solutions for auto ID and bar-code data capture, recently announced that Andreas Knoll has joined the company as managing director for its Europe/GmbH operations. In this role, he will provide leadership to support and expand Accu-Sort's customer base throughout Europe.
Mr. Knoll's appointment is part of the company's overall strategy to strengthen European operations. Under the reorganization and improved integration with Accu-Sort's U.S. operations, the European office has boosted product reliability, delivery and service. Over the last six months, Accu-Sort Europe's project funnel has increased by 38 percent. Accu-Sort's European office has grown to 50 employees, and there are plans to add additional sales, service and program management talent.
"Our goal is to strengthen our partnership with European customers by building a robust fulfillment and technology team, assuring reliability, and being easy to deal with," Mr. Knoll explained. "This requires attracting the best talent, cultivating customer-centric behavior, and expecting employees to take ownership of customer satisfaction."
With more than 18 years of management experience, Mr. Knoll comes to Accu-Sort from X-Rite GmbH, a manufacturer of color measurement systems and light laboratory equipment for the automobile industry, where he served as Managing Director. Under his leadership, X-Rite's operations in Europe were restructured, resulting in double-digit sales growth. Prior to that, he worked for Teradyne GmbH, a telecommunications test equipment manufacturer, where he served in management roles with progressive responsibility, culminating as Director of Sales for Europe.
"Andreas brings a wealth of experience in general management and strategic international sales and marketing," said Accu-Sort president Gregg Branning. "His leadership is an important part of Accu-Sort's investment in Europe, made to support European customers with the same level of service and technology expertise that customers in North America enjoy."
