Martin Professional to self-distribute in Belgium
Belgium - Martin Professional has ended its long time distributor relationship with EVDV Trade of Belgium due to the Belgian company's recent insolvency. As a consequence, effective immediately, Martin Professional will serve its Belgian customers directly via a local sales and service network administered by Martin Professional EMEA, Martin's headquarter-based regional sales organization.

Martin EMEA Vice President Villads Thomsen commented on the change, "It is unfortunate that a highly valuable partner like EVDV could not overcome the economic challenges, however I am confident that with our new sales structure for Belgium we will be able to develop the Belgian market further and grow business together with our customers."

Taking over sales responsibilities in the Belgian market is Martin Professional South Europe commercial director Martin Fournier, who will work together with the company's sales, service and customer care departments to serve the Belgian market.

"Our goal in Belgium is to create a strong and stable network that supports our end customers in the most optimal way while expanding upon the relationships that EVDV has developed over the years," Fournier stated.

Martin Professional will soon be visiting potential customers with its new staff, introducing the new set-up and presenting products. In addition, a countrywide roadshow is planned for this spring. Martin Professional will also be participating in the LOUNGE 11 exhibition from 31 May to 1 June.
