CERATIZIT plans to optimize its sales organization in France
The Focus on the customer |
 |
CERATIZIT creates competence centers to enhance customer value and intends to bundle its French sales organization in its main production sites.
With this centralization and the proximity to the production, high synergy effects can be realized. The customer will benefit through shorter communication channels, a better service and a single partner.
Jacques Lanners, Spokesman of the Executive Board of CERATIZIT S.A., explains why: „Our customers look for better service and more efficient solutions at an ever faster pace. Good products are not enough for success, good service and technical advice become more and more an important factor in competition. The severe deterioration of the economy has speeded up the need for change”.
Therefore the back-office support functions of the French sales office will be transferred to Luxemburg and Reutte.
Discussions with the affected staff will start to find the best possible options for new job opportunities within the Group or, if otherwise not possible, to negotiate acceptable severance packages.
The external sales force in France is not affected by the changes.
The transfer should be completed by September 2009.
