FlexQube Inc. hires, starting January 4, 2021 Michael Gore as Sales Manager for North America. Michael Gore has 35 years of experience from leading roles in sales and most recently from the role of sales manager at KION North America. The sales responsibility for North America has previously been directly under the CEO, Anders Fogelberg.
At the same time, starting on January 4th, Tomas Karlsson will be hired as sales manager for the Nordic region. With the employment of Tomas Karlsson, the focus is strengthened on sales work in the Nordic region, where FlexQube has not had a dedicated sales resource recently. Tomas comes to FlexQube from Swisslog where he worked with sales of automated warehouse solutions.
CEO Anders Fogelberg comments: “During the autumn, we have worked dedicatedly and intensively to increase the number of resellers around the world of our concept and in a short time we have managed to conclude agreements with ten new resellers. In 2021, we will continue to attract more resellers. We also see that the number of key customers with operations in most countries is increasing and a more comprehensive sales effort is the recipe for success to increase the growth rate.
That’s why I’m incredibly happy to have linked Michael Gore to us with his experience from sales manager roles and sales of products for internal logistics. Michael has previously been responsible for, among other things, the dealer network within KION North America and also for the sales of Liftrunner products during the period when KION North America had the dealer agreement. FlexQube took over this in March 2019.
With Tomas, we bring in sales expertise with a focus on large projects and from segments where we intend to have greater growth in the future, such as e-commerce and distribution. Tomas has solid experience in robotics and automation solutions. Our focus on robotic solutions within the eQart concept opens up even more growth opportunities in our Nordic market, and we have therefore chosen to focus more on increasing the market share, especially in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark in large international companies. Tomas will therefore also focus on supporting our sales work at the Nordic companies’ foreign units.”
