Thiel ... new CEO for Thyssenkrupp's Mena regional cluster

Thyssenkrupp unit names new Mena chief

DUBAI, December 1, 2015

Germany-based Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions business area, a leading provider of engineering, construction and service for industrial plants and systems, has appointed Boris van Thiel as its new chief executive officer of the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) regional cluster.

He has already been acting CEO of the Mena regional cluster for the past four months, said a statement from the company.

In August 2014, the 41-year-old geography graduate joined Thyssenkrupp, where he was head of business development Mena in the Process Technologies business unit until July 2015.

As part of the integration and regionalisation of its businesses, Industrial Solutions aims to be close to its customers and participate more strongly in growth in the regions. To this end, the Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, India, Mena, Asia Pacific and CIS regional clusters have been established with a view to pooling know-how, making better use of existing resources and standardising processes, added the statement.

Van Thiel said: “To achieve growth in a heterogeneous Mena market subject to sharp fluctuations, we need to set priorities for markets, portfolio segments, customers, staff requirements and office locations.”

“Through a network of local partners and our existing offices in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Morocco we can respond quickly and flexibly to customer inquiries. By establishing implementation hubs in Egypt and Saudi Arabia we are continuously improving our regional competitiveness,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
