Hagen/Lyon, 05/03/2013. EUROPART, Europe’s biggest trading company for spare parts for commercial vehicles and workshop requirements is expanding its international activity to speed up growth and is consolidating its organization in France. As from March 1, 2013, the new sales manager Eric Vaissiere is in charge of the major customers and EUROPART sales agencies in France. „With Eric Vaissiere joining our team, we are delighted to have been able to gain such an extremely knowledgeable specialist in the area of spare parts for vehicles“, says Bernard Hackin, Country Manager for France. Thanks to his many years of experience in management positions at various international manufacturers and dealers of vehicle components and vehicle diagnostic equipment, Vaissiere is not only considered to be an authority on the French market, but also an experienced expert on the entire after-market business. Most recently, as Country Manager, the 47-year-old sales professional was responsible for managing the French dealings of a well-known Italian suspension and steering manufacturer.
„I am really looking forward to my new position at EUROPART“, says Eric Vaissiere. „At the moment I see huge potential for growth for EUROPART in France.“ Many large French fleet managers have branches throughout the country with their own workshops. From his years of experience, Vaissiere knows that „with our concept of a high degree of availability and quick delivery, both for branded spare parts for all big manufacturers of trucks, buses and trailers as well as for EUROPART own-brand parts and workshop supplies, we meet the exact needs of these major customers, but also of many other fleet managers and workshops.“ As a major brand-independent commercial vehicle spare parts dealer in Europe, EUROPART not only supplies specialised commercial vehicle workshops, but also transport companies undertaking their own repairs as well as municipal and works transport companies. The choice of products ranges from mounting materials and spare parts of all kinds to diagnostic equipment and oils, greases and chemicals for workshop requirements. The opening of the new branch offices in Toulouse and Le Havre in the past three months emphasises the significant growth of EUROPART on the French market. Including the country headquarters in Lyon and its site in Strasbourg, EUROPART is now represented at a total of four sites in France.
EUROPART will present its products and services at the Solutrans trade fair from November 19-23, 2013. Eric Vaissiere and his team will be there with further information about the EUROPART product range and the company’s operations in France.
