New subsidiary founded in Dubai
Luxembourg, August 8, 2011 - SAF-HOLLAND S.A., a leading supplier for the
global truck and trailer industry, has strengthened its business in the
Middle East as well as North and Central Africa through the founding of a
subsidiary in Dubai. Marc Rauchmann, who previously worked for the
SAF-HOLLAND Aftermarket Business Unit is the company's Managing Director.
The region has developed into one of SAF-HOLLAND's most important markets.
'Our strengthened presence in the Middle East and Africa will improve
order-to-delivery lead times, parts availability and lead to better
back-order recovery. All of this will result in enhanced customer support',
said Alexander Geis, President of the SAF-HOLLAND Aftermarket Business
Unit. With the new regional setup, SAF-HOLLAND's customers will have the
opportunity to communicate in their native language and access local
training facilities, enjoy local business hours, and local ways of working
with quick reactions to customer requests.
