Johan leaves Powerlift

Holger Johan has left German based Power-Lift just three months after he sold it to Dutch based Beuzekom/ Hoogwerker Centrum.

The original intention of the two parties was that he would remain with the company which distributes a number of products in Germany, including Snorkel, Oil&Steel, Instant and Palazzani from its headquarters in Erkrath near Dusseldorf. Beuzekom-Hoogwerker Centrum is the Oil & Steel dealer in Holland and is owned managed by Wim van Beuzekom.

We understand that the two found that they were not as compatible within the working environment as they had thought they would be, so it was mutually agreed that they would go their separate ways.

Johan is now considering his options and say that he is open to suggestions and is considering whether to start up a new venture of his own or join an existing company as an employee.
