Direct sales and service to support injection moulders in Switzerland

The robot and automation leader headquartered in La Roche sur Yon, France, Sepro is establishing a new, direct sales and service operation to serve the plastics injection-moulding industry of Switzerland.

Sepro Switzerland will have an office east of Zurich, where Thomas Scherz has been hired as Swiss German area sales manager. In recognition of Switzerland’s tri-lingual character, however, the area sales manager for the French-speaking western region of the country will be Olivier Violy, a 25-year Sepro employee who also covers South-Eastern France. Customers in the Italian-speaking southeast of Switzerland will continue to work with Sepro’s Italian distributor, Sverital.

This is the third daughter company or local office that Sepro has inaugurated in just over a year and the eleventh in all. Sepro Canada opened in January 2016 and Sepro Austria-Hungary started up in March. The company expects to report 2016 sales of about EUR 103 million, an increase of 11% over 2015.
