Weber joined the company in January following many years of experience in the Polish construction equipment and rental sector, he will be responsible for direct sales, business development as well as distributor management. The same role applies to Valtel in France, where Teupen has operated a direct sales and support function for 12 years.

In northern Europe Teupen says it is also planning more direct sales activities, with Hesselgren on board.

“The Nordic markets are a perfect opportunity to prove that our direct sales concept will be successful in the long term. Tracked aerials may be known in the market but far from being accepted as a standard repertoire for a well-equipped rental fleet. With Lars Hesselgren we took a professional aboard that has years of experience in the Scandinavian sales environment,” added Wotschke.
