Schottel Group strengthens Service Organisation
In the course of its worldwide expansion Schottel made two important adjustments for even better service:
With the creation of the two new service divisions Automation and Systems Engineering as well as Repair International the company responds to the enormous growth of the population of Schottel drives worldwide.
Stefan Buch was appointed director of the division Automation und Systems Technology. The electrical engineer has been working in leading positions in the Schottel area of software development, engineering and switchboard engineering since 2001 already.
Buchs aim is to respond quicker to customer demands with short ways of communication with cross linked competences between the areas service and engineering under one roof.
René Lange is responsible for the new division Repair International. The naval engineer has been working in leading positions in the Schottel service organization since 2006. Amongst others he worked in the service area of the North American Schottel subsidiary.
Lange plans to densify the network of strategically positioned repair locations worldwide in order to achieve the best possible coverage. For this purpose he attaches importance to optimal cross linkage and communication between the subsidiaries and the areas service and engineering at the headquarters in Germany.
The Schottel Group, with its headquarters in Spay/Rhine, is a manufacturer of propulsion and steering systems for ships and offshore applications. Founded in 1921, the company has been developing and manufacturing for almost 60 years azimuth propulsion and manoeuvring systems, complete propulsion systems with power ratings of up to 30 MW, and steering systems for vessels of all sizes and types. Around 100 sales and service locations worldwide ensure customer proximity.
