German injection moulding machinery manufacturer Arburg has named Artur Metzler as managing director of its Polish operation.
Meltzer, who joined the company in 2005 as an apprentice industrial business administrator, previously headed the Central and Eastern Europe group within the sales division, a role he held since June 2022.
In his new position as managing director, he will lead a team of 27.
His appointment comes as Arburg announced the promotion of Alex Gall to the position of aftersales director.
Gall initially joined Arburg in January 2011 as a service engineer.
Integrated sales approach
According to Arburg, its integrated approach means sales and aftersales work as one team.
“This joined‑up way of working is what defines Arburg,” said Steve Thomson, Arburg managing director.
“Alex understands this instinctively. He sees every day how trust is built not just through great engineering, but through people. Customers may choose Arburg initially for machine performance or brand reputation, but they stay because they trust the people supporting them.”
In January, Arburg appointed Volker Nilles as its chief executive, where he became the sixth member of the Lossburg-based company’s top-level management team.
