Dedicated drives team for Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric has announced the creation of a dedicated drives team within its industry business, headed up by the recently appointed national drives sales manager, Tony Pickering (pictured).

Pickering joined Schneider Electric from Danfoss where he created a robust sales network across the European countries he was responsible for.

Pickering explained: "The Schneider Electric business has always had a drives team within its organisation but this is currently being further strengthened via a tactical restructuring. The new organisation will support the company's regional sales activities and in addition will be split into industrial and HVAC dedicated teams.

"We have decided to take this route as we have always had strong products in this arena and we want to make the team more visible in the marketplace, to showcase our world leading drive technologies" he continued.
