I am going to continue developing both the company commercial activities and the range of products and services so that customers might enjoy every innovation in the field.

I’m pleased that thanks to my new role I will remain close to ALD Automotive Romania and to the partners that I have worked with and whom I would like to thank on this occasion for the trust invested in the company. On the other hand, through my new responsibilities, I would work on consolidating ALD Automotive’s position in each of the four supervised countries.
