CERATIZIT intends to relocate its UK office to Sheffield.
CERATIZIT creates competence centers in order to enhance customer value and intends to relocate its sales organisation in the United Kingdom to Sheffield.
The change project "Focus Future" has been successfully implemented at the CERATIZIT production sites during the past year. The CERATIZIT Group is now able to produce more efficiently and to deliver in a more customer-oriented way than ever before. "From the beginning of this project, it was clear that if we only concentrate on the optimization of our production sites, we would have only done half of the job. The Executive Board has recognized opportunities for improvement in empowering and focusing our European sales organizations further", says Wolfgang Glätzle, Member of the Executive Board. Jacques Lanners, Spokesman of the Executive Board of CERATIZIT S.A., adds: „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". The current CERATIZIT sales office in Warrington will be relocated to Sheffield. The back office functions will be bundled with the ones of WNT UK Ltd. Discussions with the affected staff and the union have started in order to find the best possible options for new job opportunities within the Group or, if otherwise not possible, acceptable severance packages. The external sales force in the United Kingdom is not affected by the changes. The transfer into the new facility in Sheffield should be completed by September 2009.
