Rehm Sales Team Newly Reorganized
July 6, 2017 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Which system is appropriate for my production requirements? Where can I find quick advice when I need a spare part or a new feature? Or, who is the person to contact when my company is based in Europe, America, or Asia? Rehm Thermal Systems has reorganized its sales team and can now offer faster customized answers to these and other questions.
"We've given the sales team a new structure, allowing us to support our customers and partners better now. I'm also looking forward to welcoming two new faces to the team. We're strengthening our international partnerships and are now better able to make optimum use of new market potentials," emphasizes Michael Hanke, Chief Customer Officer at Rehm.
Martin Meyer, Business Development Key Account
With the expansion of the Key Account Management division, Martin Meyer is now working with Stefanie Stier, to manage Rehm's global headquarters and major customers, based in Europe, Asia, North and South America. “In this way, we’re further developing our ability to address the needs and interests of our key accounts, expanding long-term business relationships, and opening up new markets”, he says. Martin Meyer started out at Rehm in 1991 as a design engineer. In 1996, he took over sales tasks and business development with a focus on Asia. Most recently, he was responsible for customers and distributors in Europe and for establishing and expanding sales structures in this region.
Philip Längsfeld, Head of Sales Europe
Since 1 May 2017, Philip Längsfeld has overseen sales for Western Europe. In this role, he supports cooperation and sales partners in customer acquisition, advises them on product portfolios, and strengthens Rehm's presence in Europe.
"Especially for our branches and distributors, a concrete contact person is an important part of representing our common interests externally. I see myself not merely as an advisor, but as a companion," he says. With the successful completion of his dual studies in business management, which he undertook in cooperation with Rehm, Philip Längsfeld is well acquainted with corporate structures. He previously worked as an internal sales manager. He passes these tasks on to Anna Grünauer.
Anna Grünauer, Head of Back Office
Rehm welcomes a new member of the team, Anna Grünauer, who took over the sales office on 1 April 2017. She thus acts an interface between the sales office and the sales field team, taking care of sales control, and managing customer contacts.
"Rehm is active as an up-and-coming company with innovative products and ideas in a wide range of industries, and offers many development opportunities. I'm especially pleased with the cooperation with renowned national and international customers," emphasizes Anna Grünauer. Her many years of experience in product marketing at a medical technology company will provide an excellent foundation from which to begin her new successes at Rehm.
Peter Schiele, Sales Manager CondensoX/Special Systems
Since 1 June 2017, Peter Schiele has been the new contact person for worldwide sales of the reflow condensation soldering systems CondensoX and for special systems. He worked successfully for many years as a sales manager and key account manager for renowned customers in the automotive industry, having gained extensive experience in technical sales, as well as in system component development and reflow vapor phase soldering. In addition, he founded his own solar technology company in 2005.
"For me personal contact with the customer is very important if we want to configure a system that meets expectations optimally. I'm looking forward to the projects that I'll be able to achieve at Rehm in the future," says Peter Schiele.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
