Smart Molding International 1-2022

12 newsfeed smart_molding international 1/2022 ZAHORANSKY is repositioning itself in sales and marketing and is merging the sales divisions “Oral Care/Broom & Brush Mechanical Engineering” and “Automation & Molds/Medical Technology”, which up until now have operated independently. This opens up synergies in development, sales and production. This development en - ables the strength of the global sales and production network across all ZAHORANSKY locations to be used even more consistently. The person responsible for this restructuring is Robert Dous, who has held a new position in relation to this since Jan - uary: As the Managing Director of ZAHORANSKY Automation & Molds GmbH and the Chief Sales Officer of the ZAHORANSKY GROUP, he is now responsible for the global sales, mar - keting and service activities of all ZAHORANSKY products and locations. He is also responsible for managing the branches in the USA, Mexico, Bra - zil, India, Japan and China. Two-pronged sales approach In future, ZAHORANSKY will pursue a two-pronged sales approach. There will be divisions specifically for standard manual or automated brush produc - tion machines, packaging machines, automation modules as well as injec - tion molds. These teams are controlled locally and are characterized by their special customer proximity and flexibil - ity on account of their regional pres - ence. An agile interdisciplinary organi - zation approach is used for the project business in the division of tailor-made production solutions with a high degree of interlinking and automation in the areas of personal care, medical tech - nology and industrial automation. Up - grading and expanding the key account management enables ZAHORANSKY to even better meet the requirements of global market leaders. Expansion of the medical technology division Medical technology is also a high priority in the future product strategy. This business division is being further expanded with production solutions for the manufacture of in-vitro diagnostics, drug delivery and primary packaging. Specifically, this involves dialyzers, vaccine containers, prefilled plastic syringes, pipette tips, blood collection tubes, inhalers andmany other medical technology products. Carefree all-in-one service When it comes to customer care, ZAHORANSKY consistently relies on the perks of digitization using the global sales organization with Sales & Service branches. A 360-degree care - free service approach, based on re - mote monitoring & alerting of produc - tion processes, as well as preventive maintenance, increases the production output of the machines and minimizes scheduled downtimes.
