Watson-Marlow Pumps Group has opened two new offices in Zurich and Mexico City

The group can now offer Swiss customers direct shipment from its UK plant in Falmouth, saving 20% on transport costs and seven days of delivery time. Swiss orders ship on next-day-delivery terms.

Newly appointed sales engineer Walter Burger heads the Swiss operation, which is set to become another European success story.

“We’re delighted to have Walter on board looking after our Swiss contacts," commented Klaus Heinrich, country manager for Switzerland and Germany. "Walter brings with him a raft of engineering and technical sales experience. We have worked with two distributors for our Swiss customers – Rotoconsulta and Skan – for a number of years. Being able to offer a direct service for industrial and process application distribution is a milestone we’re extremely proud to have reached. We will retain the distribution services of Skan for the laboratory sector.”   Watson-Marlow’s sales division in Mexico, operational from 1^st April, will be working to satisfy strong customer demand for its innovative pump products, particularly in the mining sector. The new operation, Watson-Marlow S. de R.L. de C.V., is under the management of Latin America’s sales manager Rolando Sanchez. Guillermo Tellez has been appointed as sales manager for Mexico.
