Foul-release coatings manufacturer Propspeed yesterday announced the expansion of its European operations by naming Edo Smitz commercial sales manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“Over the past several years, we have focused on recruiting key personnel in vital markets and establishing a secure supply chain so that our warehouses are fully stocked with product,” CEO Chris Baird said in a statement. “We are ready to kick off what is sure to be a very busy 2022 and are confident that Edo will provide exceptional service to our commercial customers in Europe.”
Smitz is based in Almere, Netherlands, which the company said is a “very central location.” He previously had worked for Yanmar for 15 years.
“From the very beginning, I received a warm welcome from the entire Propspeed team, which made me feel immediately comfortable and at home,” Smitz said. “From the top down, one thing that we all agree on is that offering an incredible customer experience is our top priority.”
