Vetus expands international sales team

Vetus has expanded its international sales management team with two appointments in Italy and Spain. The company, which manufactures complete marine systems including engines, electric propulsion, and generators, says it is enhancing its team in response to recent record sales figures and revenue growth at the company.

The new arrivals at two local European offices strengthen the company’s presence in key markets and will meet the increasing demand for Vetus and Maxwell products through the most direct approach with OEMs and consumers.

Davide Baldereschi joins the Vetus Italy headquarters in Montelupo as branch manager. With 14 years of experience in sales and marketing at multinational companies, he also brings marine industry expertise and connections to Vetus from his previous roles.

Baldereschi will be the main contact for Vetus sales activities and developments in the country, supporting continued sales growth and initiating new partnerships in Italy’s thriving OEM market.

Based at the Vetus Barcelona office, Joana Franco has been appointed sales account manager for Spain and Portugal. A qualified naval architect, ocean engineer and open water diver, she brings multi-lingual communication skills to the position, as well as monitoring and supervision experience in ship repair and design projects.

Franco will lead all aspects of the Vetus Portugal business, serving existing customers in the region and raising awareness to new audiences about Vetus’ full system capabilities and products.

“We are still seeing high demand for boating equipment, as more people discover the enjoyment of being out on the water,” says Thijs Boegheim, sales director EMEA for Vetus. “We are, therefore, delighted to confirm these new appointments which will further enhance our connection and service for customers in Italy, Spain and Portugal.”
