Andreas Weiler – New export manager at<br />
TRM<br />
With TRM’s previous export manager Martin Höchtl having started<br />
his own business in December last year, Andreas Weiler took<br />
over managing exports as of 16 December 008. As mentioned<br />
in the last issue of inForm, Andreas Weiler has had years of experience<br />
in a variety of functions in the sales area including at sales<br />
manager level and thus has the tools he needs to cope successfully<br />
with the challenges faced in our foreign<br />
markets. He will be focussing his<br />
efforts mainly on the potential for<br />
growth which exist in the markets of<br />
south-eastern Europe and will be concentrating<br />
particularly on developing<br />
our relationships with district and regional<br />
water suppliers and with our local<br />
sales partners. With the support of our<br />
colleagues from Hall, another main focus<br />
of his work will be to continue the<br />
development of our snowmaking business<br />
in the region.<br />
