Our team introduces itself - Part 2: Distribution
Our sales team
We continue with the presentation of our small but fine company team and introduce you to our sales team today.
Basically, our sales team can be divided into "Team Ice Production"(Thomas Kumpus, Aaron Blank) and "Team Facilities"(Thomas Hillenbrand, Dejan Kaludjerovic and Valentina Kollmannsberger). Sabine Hofmeister takes care of the accessory articles, the invoicing of repairs and spare parts as well as the "education" of our trainees.

Every product has its "specialist
With us, everyone in the sales team has "their" products, which they look after from A to Z: from purchasing and supplier support, through customer advice, to sales and shipping. With our complex and diverse product range, we thus ensure that we have the right expert for each product, who is familiar with "his" products in detail - and also knows exactly how to approach "his" contacts in order to get the goods perhaps a day or two faster than agreed.
Of course, this also sometimes leads to a little internal "competition" between our product departments - and if "Team Equipment" has made more sales one week than "Team Ice Machines" (or vice versa), then the "inferior" department also likes to hear that. But fortunately everything always remains amicable - in the end, our team simply likes to motivate each other.
