Renault: bundling sales in the DACH region

Renault: bundling sales in the DACH region

In the three-country network, the fundamental independence of the three national companies is retained in order to continue to target the respective markets and to provide customers and local retailers with the best possible support. The aim of the new cross-border organization is to coordinate procedures and processes more closely than before and to avoid duplication of work. For this purpose, selected back office activities in the various areas will be combined.
The new DACH sales region will be headed by Uwe Hochgeschurtz, who will also continue his role as CEO of Renault Deutschland AG. Olivier Wittmann leads Renault Österreich GmbH as Country Operations Director and becomes deputy head of DACH. As Country Operations Director, Claude Gregorini is responsible for the business of Renault Suisse SA.
The composition of the current management teams in the three countries remains unchanged.
