Mutitel recruits Spanish team

Italian truck mount and spider lift manufacturer Multitel has recruited three vehicle mounted platform veterans for its new Spanish subsidiary, Multitel Iberica, which is opening in Barcelona.

All three men have joined Multitel from local competitor Movex, now part of the Versalift/Time group. They are: Xavier Vega Basquens, who becomes sales manager for Spain and Portugal, Juan Jose Carretero Serrano, who assumes the role of after sales service coordinator and Jose Serafin Prieto Martin who will provide the technical assistance in both the workshop and the field.

Xavier Vega joins the company after 23 years as sales and after sales manager at Movex. He began his career in 1998 with construction company Ediftec Cardedeu, leaving for Movex in 2001.

Juan Jose Carretero Serrano has worked for Movex for the past 16 years, while his colleague Jose Serafin Prieto Martin has spent the past 40 years with the company.

Speaking of the move to Multitel Xavier Vega said: “ I have found the same values at Multitel Pagliero as we saw at Movex, the two companies are both family run and have always had good relations.”

“This new professional challenge however, is a great opportunity for us, the high quality and cutting edge technology of the Multitel Pagliero products will propose to provide an excellent proposition for the Spanish and Portuguese markets when combined with excellent customer service. This is a good time to establish yourself in the Iberian market, especially if you can offer such a wide range of products, which stands out from those of your competitors”.

Roberto Marangoni, head of global marketing and international sales added: “We are very happy with the recruitment of, we are really lucky to have a group of professionals like Xavier, Juan and Serafin to get Multitel Iberica started. They bring experience and expertise, both technical and commercial and their professionalism is an added value for a quick kick off and to provide the Iberian market with a level of support that matches the Made in Multitel style”.
