15-10-2009 - Kai Andersen announced as the Managing Director of Gilbarco Autotank
Europe - 15th October 2009 – Gilbarco Autotank, a subsidiary of Gilbarco Veeder- Root (GVR) announces Kai Andersen as the Managing Director for all Nordic and Baltic regions.
Mr. Andersen has built his career within the retail fuelling industry having worked in several positions for Schlumberger and Tokheim. He has successfully run his own company and more recently became the General Manager of Norway for Autotank. During 2009, his responsibility was increased to include the service businesses in all the Nordic areas. He has in depth understanding of the industry and customers and has a proven track record of delivering profitable growth.
Twelve months on from GVR’s acquisition of Gilbarco Autotank, the new partnership has performed exceptionally well and the company is positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities and increase in profitability. One of Mr Andersen’s key objectives will be to facilitate the ongoing alignment of the structures and processes of the company.
In conjunction with this development and as part of GVR’s exciting times for growth and providing customers with more focused services, Gilbarco Autotank’s structure will be changed to a functional structure covering Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Finland and the Baltics will be combined into one region. This will ensure customer needs are identified and served more effectively.
“I am very pleased with these structural changes said Mr. Andersen, “delivering good service and quality products to our customers are our number one priority and part of our objectives. Since Gilbarco Autotank joined the Gilbarco Veeder-Root family, tremendous progress has been made so far, and the transformation from a country specific structure to a more functional structure will encourage the team to broaden our resources effectively in each region in order to continue to further improve our customer services and also, retain and develop valuable relationships with our customers.”
