September 26, 2019: Battery testing and formation system maker Digatron has appointed Marc Thielmanns as vice president of sales and marketing, the firm said on September 2.

He replaces Friedrich Grupe, who becomes vice president project and product management. Both men are based at the company’s headquarters in Aachen, Germany.

Thielmanns worked for Digatron before, as sales manager for the Asian market, between 2002 and 2008, before moving to the German financial services platform Jumo as head of the sales department.

“Thielmanns will be responsible for the strategic direction of sales and marketing and will help to further strengthen Digatron’s position in the market,” said the company. “He will be supported by the project management, which will be headed by Grupe, and the close co-operation of the two departments will allow customers to be seamlessly supported at sales and technical levels.”

Kevin Campbell, CEO Digatron Power Electronics, said: “With Marc Thielmanns, we are gaining a proven sales expert and experienced strategist.”
