In order to keep pace with the continuously increasing enquiries from all over the world, two new heads complement our existing business development and sales teams: to enter systematically the trenchless rehabilitation market in our neighbouring countries and to service customers in the South of France.
Staff expansion goes on – New team members for the Czech Republic and France
Otakar Cigler
Otakar comes from the Czech Republic and holds a master´s degree in Civil Engineering with focus on building materials and diagnostics. He has more than twelve years of experience in trenchless pipe rehabilitation, above all with UV curing GRP CIPP but also insight into spray-on coatings and injection works.
Most of his professional life, Otakar has held the role of Sales or Business Development Manager with strong technical background and activity radius in East Europe, the Baltic States and Scandinavia. Moreover, he is accredited at the Czech Chamber of Authorized Engineers and Technicians in Construction with focus on hydro-technics and pipelines.
His professional background will definitely help him to develop the market for Primus Line® in East Europe and the Baltic States.
In his leisure time, Otakar likes skiing, mountain biking, water sports and – in case of bad weather – reading.
Philippe Gerbaud
Philippe has been a passionate salesman for over 20 years and began his career by building up his skills in the field. Most recently, he acted as a Sales Manager for the South-East of France in the fittings industry, after he had worked in the export department of the same group for six years.
Being an autodidact, Philippe’s adaptability and enthusiasm have enabled him to build his career through various enriching experiences.
A technical background in aeronautics formed the base and helped him to develop and grow around technological and innovative products such as Primus Line®. Philippe is our new Regional Manager for the South of France and will take care of our (potential) customers there.
In his spare time, he prefers to spend quality time with his wife and five children and to work out whenever possible.
As all other staff members, our two new colleagues have a dedicated customer focus and bring in their technical expertise, profound knowledge in sales, project management and/or business development. Perfect prerequisites for an optimal realisation of your trenchless rehabilitation projects.
A warm welcome to both and all the best for the projects to come!
