New appointment at Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe
Christophe Lecarpentier takes on role of construction equipment key account manager for Europe
HYUNDAI Construction Equipment Europe (HCEE) have appointed Christophe Lecarpentier as key account manager. He will take on responsibility for developing and managing relationships with key accounts across Europe.
Mr Lecarpentier has more than 30 years of construction industry experience, in sales, product, and marketing. For the last two years he has been in charge of the Intermat equipment exhibition in Paris, following 18 years with a global construction machinery brand, working in European and African markets.
‘We are very happy to welcome Christophe to HCEE,’ said Dr Hubertus Muenster, director of construction equipment sales at HCEE. ‘His long-term industry experience will help us to further develop our key account offering in Europe and to customize our solutions to customer requirements, for enhanced value creation.’
Hyundai have announced a major expansion of their machinery range this year. At the upcoming bauma equipment fair in Munich, 10 of the 18 machines on display will be new to Europe, as the company launches skid-steers, compact tracked loaders, materials handling machinery, dozers, and its first full electric mini-excavator to the market.
The company also continues to lead in new technologies, with a concept hydrogen fuel-cell powered wheeled excavator working on the bauma stand, complete with a ground-breaking refuelling system.
Mr Lecarpentier said: ‘I am joining Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe convinced by the latest product launches, the high level of innovation, and the current strategy that is in place for the European market. I am thrilled to be taking up the key account manager role and look forward to working with current and future partners.’
