Alongside Asia and America, there will be two sales organisations in Europe: One for the Western and Southern European markets, and one focussing on Central and Eastern Europe. As part of the new sales structure, Walter has named Kim Seidelman the new Regional President for Asia-Pacific. Up until now, Seidelman served as Managing Director of Walter USA.

"I am proud that we were able to fill this key position by an experienced manager from our internal pool at Walter," said Mirko Merlo, President of Walter. "We are staying true to ourselves: I believe our very international management team reflects the diversity of our customers in our target markets. With the new sales structure, we shall be closer to our customers in the future and will be able to react to technological requirements in a more flexible and intensive way."

"It is my goal to make the Asia-Pacific region Walter's fastest-growing market. We have the potential to do this with our Engineering Kompetenz and our strong customer focus," said Kim Seidelman.
