Andreas Hechenblaikner looks back on 17 success ful years with Liebherr, where he and his team made a major contribution to the company’s success. As a result of his time there, Hechenblaikner is a very familiar figure in the electrical trade in Austria, and he is highly motivated by the thought of his new responsibilities: ‘I’m really looking forward to the new challenge of contin uing to sell such an emotionally charged product in Austria.’

The man appointed as General Manager of the new subsidiary is Joe Belo, who not only knows the local market like the back of his hand but for some time now has also played an important role in actively building up the JURA brand in Australia. In his previous function as Technical Director, he repeatedly demonstrated his expertise. In George Liakatos, who remains in his position as national Head of Sales and aims to consolidate JURA’s position as market leader, we have a highly capable sales specialist.
