Mold-Masters, the global leader in hot runner and temperature controller technology, recently set up direct sales infrastructure and a new office in Barcelona, Spain. Following their global expansion strategy this will enable to strengthen their position in Europe as well as providing closer interaction and dedicated services to local customers. Up until the end of September 2009 the Spanish market has been maintained by a long-term agency. Due to Mold-Masters' growth plans both parties recently took the decision in mutual agreement to not renew their common distribution agreement.
Since October 1, all sales and services are now being handled by Mold-Masters directly. The hot runner specialists at the new office are mainly the same team as before. Mold-Masters therefore ensures a smooth transition for all existing as well as new customers and a timely response for any incoming request. By using established resources and highly skilled people, Mold-Masters will continue to provide their complete hot runner product and service portfolio in this important market.
Hans Hagelstein, Managing Director at Mold-Masters' European Headquarters in Germany commented: Spain has a growing importance for our global hot runner business and we are excited to now have taken over direct responsibilities for this market. The increasing impact of our unique hot runner technology indicates that we undertook the right steps at the right time.
Vincent Bécart, who is now in charge of Sales in France and Spain, added: By setting up this new office in Barcelona we will continue to focus on sales and service activities in Spain and expressly underline our commitment to this market. Our local customers as well as any company who has production facilities in Spain will profit from Mold-Masters' worldwide resources. This included our unique customer support and dedicated hot runner expertise.
Overall management, production facilities as well as back office support for the Spanish office is based at Mold-Masters' European Headquarters in Baden-Baden, Germany. By offering the world's most comprehensive hot runner technology portfolio, Mold-Masters is expecting a continuously growing market share over the next years in Spain.
