German market growth drives Technical Sales Team expansion image

Following the recent appointment of Jürgen Knörchen as Sales Director DACH in April and driven by the growing market and Ventec's strengthening position in the German-speaking region, Ventec is continuing to expand its sales force and adding further technical sales expertise.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sven Schnell as Technical Sales Engineer. In this role, Sven will be responsible for business development activities in Germany and Eastern Europe, specializing in thermal management solutions to help the company further develop its presence in the region. With his extensive knowledge and experience in applications requiring thermal performance beyond FR4, Sven will play a key role in driving forward Ventec's Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB's as well as a complementary range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) under Ventec's distributor agreement with EMI Thermal.

Sven has over 25 years' technical experience, joining Ventec from Henkel and Bergquist where he started out as Field Sales Manager and most recently acted as Account Manager for Siemens AG. He previously worked in sales & engineering roles with leading companies such as Würth, Hirose Electric and AVX/Elco and has a technical education in electronics.

"I am pleased to welcome Sven to our expanding technical team in Germany. His extensive industry knowledge and his specialist expertise for IMS materials will further enhance our commitment to providing technical support at the highest level to our German-speaking customers", said Jürgen Knörchen, Sales Director DACH. Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & Americas added, "building on the momentum from our IPO on the Taiwanese Stock Exchange this month, we continue to invest in our strong and skilled global team to help meet the growing demand for Ventec products & solutions."
