EurotaxGlass’s creates new Global Services Division

EurotaxGlass’s has announced the creation of a new Global Services Division to spearhead the company’s international growth. The new unit will lead the delivery of the company’s products and business intelligence services for the growing number of international customers requiring cross-border automotive data solutions.

The fast-growing EurotaxGlass’s Market Intelligence Unit (EGMIU) – which provides bespoke reports and intelligence services to global vehicle manufacturers, fleet and finance companies – will form a key part of the new Global Services Division.

To lead the Global Services Division, EurotaxGlass’s has appointed Steffen Schick as its Managing Director, starting on 1 October 2008. Schick joins EurotaxGlass’s from Fleet Logistics International (FLI), where he was COO and masterminded the introduction of a number of leading-edge systems to boost customer service and operational efficiency, facilitating FLI’s rapid growth. Prior to FLI, Schick worked with Booz Allen Hamilton where, as a member of the automotive management team, he worked with vehicle manufacturers and other major automotive businesses worldwide.

“I am delighted to join EurotaxGlass's at such an exciting time in its development,” says Schick, “and I am convinced that EurotaxGlass's Global Services holds the answer to many of the automotive industry’s current and future challenges.”

Alastair MacLeod, CEO of EurotaxGlass's, commented: “The next few years are set to be challenging ones in the automotive sector. EurotaxGlass’s has created the Global Services Division to focus on providing data, tools and business intelligence which will help our major international customers cope effectively with the tough economic environment, maximise efficiency and margins, and get the most value out of the vehicle lifecycle.”

Heiko Haasler, Group Marketing Director, added: “This development underlines our commitment to delivering outstanding decision support and solutions to the major international players in the global automotive industry. Bringing our international service portfolio and key account relationships under one roof will ensure that we continue to stay ahead of our customers’ increasing demands, and that we accelerate development of new solutions for the global automotive industry.”

EurotaxGlass’s Global Services will be launched to its international customers at the company’s Business Intelligence Forum on 28 and 29 October 2008.
