Erlus strengthens its sales team in France

At the head of the team, Dominique Ginez, sales director for France since 2002, is still supported by Werner Haehnel, sales representative for the Lorraine region since 2006. With the arrivals of Cyrille Donna, sales representative for the Alsace region since November, and Julia Amann, head of internal services since February 1, plus intends to give new impetus to its strategy in France and boost the recovery of its activity.

Strengthening proximity to customers and traders

These arrivals confirm the Erlus group's ambition to further establish itself in the French market. Until now, sales activities were primarily focused on the eastern regions (Alsace, Lorraine, Franche-Comté, Burgundy). These recruitments aim to expand sales into other regions and strengthen Erlus's local commitment to its roofing and trade customers.

Reporting directly to Dominique Ginez, the new sales team will be responsible for developing all Erlus products in France, particularly in the Grand Est, Bourgogne–Franche-Comté, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions. The Erlus tile range, which includes purlin tiles for renovation, flat tiles, ribbed tiles, large-format tiles, and tiles for low-slope roofs, is particularly well-suited to these regions.

“France is a major market for Erlus. Our current sales volumes suggest very robust commercial momentum. We are delighted to welcome Julia Amann and Cyrille Donna to further strengthen our sales team. With their experience in customer service and business development, they will support our growth in France. Their in-depth knowledge of the French market remains a major asset.", explains Dominique Ginez.
