Germany: US-based separation company Eriez has appointed Eric Adams as Managing Director of its newly established Germany-based subsidiary Eriez Deutschland. The new role will see Adams working to increase Eriez’ presence throughout central Europe. He will report to Eriez’s Vice President - International Jaisen Kohmuench.

Adams has three decades of experience in technical sales of capital equipment prior to joining Eriez as a sales. He previously worked for Germany-based Fördertechnik, Noell Service und Maschinentechnik and Herrenknecht, before joining Steinert Elektromagnetbau as general sales manager.

Eriez CEO and president Lukas Guenthardt said “Eric has been working closely with our executive team at Eriez-Europe to craft and execute a comprehensive business plan that addresses the needs of the German market.” He added “We recognise that this area of Europe is far too important to properly serve via an independent agent or distributor and therefore requires a direct and constant presence in the form of Eriez Deutschland, guided by the strong leadership of Eric.”
