Replacement parts wholesaler GRANIT PARTS is reorganising its garden and forestry division, with René Pander, Sven Fiebelkorn and Hendrik Müller now taking over responsibility for the expansion of this area. The future of the product range will be dominated by technological changes in the motorised equipment industry, which will open up new opportunities for both the Lower Saxony-based trading company and equipment users themselves. The expansion of the municipal technology division will also be an important driver of growth for the garden and forestry division next year.
As Head of the Garden and Forestry Division, René Pander is now in charge of sales and service for GRANIT's garden and forestry product range in all markets and countries. The 46-year-old previously worked in product management at GRANIT PARTS from 2007 to 2018. During this time, his focus was primarily on expanding the GRANIT own-brand range of garden and forestry products. He was also responsible for setting up a global procurement network and acquiring various replacement parts distributors from leading equipment manufacturers. Following a brief stint at a European garden technology specialist, he is now dedicating himself to new challenges in the garden and forestry division at GRANIT PARTS.
Sven Fiebelkorn is the new Sales Manager for Garden and Forestry in the DACH Region. With a total of 27 years of experience, from 2019 he also worked for two years in product management within the GRANIT garden and forestry team, and most recently as a sales manager at a well-known fertiliser manufacturer. He is now returning to the Heeslingen-based company in his new role as sales manager, and will be responsible for the national sales network for the garden and forestry sector.
Hendrik Müller completes the trio. The 31-year-old has been working for GRANIT PARTS for six years, initially in product management for electrics and construction machinery, and subsequently as sales manager for garden and forestry in the DACH region. Following the restructuring of the garden and forestry division, Hendrik Müller has seized the opportunity to return to product management at GRANIT, and is now taking over the management of the garden and forestry division on the purchasing side.
“These new roles at GRANIT PARTS will provide many exciting opportunities for us and for the entire industry over the coming months and years. I am looking forward to tackling this challenge together with Sven Fiebelkorn and Hendrik Müller, and the entire team in Germany and throughout Europe,” said a highly motivated René Pander, Head of the Garden and Forestry Division.
