Global expert for PV mounting solutions AEROCOMPACT announced that its founder and sole owner, Mathias Muther, has handed over the operational management of the company in Europe and the United States to new managing directors in the respective country organizations.
Manfred Ganahl, who has headed international sales at AEROCOMPACT since 2020, will manage AEROCOMPACT GmbH in Satteins, Austria and Dirk Morbitzer will be responsible for the business of the US subsidiary AEROCOMPACT Inc. in Matthews, North Carolina, Mathias.
Mathias Muther will remain the global CEO in the parent company AEROCOMPACT Holding to focus on strategically developing and internationalizing the company from August.
For Muther, the handover is “a logical step” and will set the company on course for further growth. Since the parent company AEROCOMPACT Holding was founded in 2019, he has been pursuing “the vision of an internationally growing company with independently operating subsidiaries that maintain team dynamics and flat hierarchies,” he explains. Compared to the previous year, he is targeting a doubling of sales in the current business year.
Expanding strategic partnerships
In his new role, Manfred Ganahl aims to further advance the company’s digitalization and strategic partnerships in the various sales markets.
“The market is very turbulent and we expect an explosion in demand,” Ganahl said.
Before Ganahl started at AEROCOMPACT, he was responsible for several years for organizations on behalf of major global companies, among others in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania and the US.
Growing in the US market
In the short term, Dirk Morbitzer plans to expand the sales department and introduce new products for the US market.
“AEROCOMPACT has the ideal products for the US market with its mounting solutions for flat roofs and open spaces. I look forward to advancing the company’s development in the U.S. during these exciting times and raising awareness for our products,” Morbitzer said.
Previously, Dirk Morbitzer has worked for the last seven years for the leading US photovoltaic installation company, Sunrun, which employs around 9000 people. He was responsible for the selection of international suppliers, contract negotiations and product quality.
