Beckhoff establishes subsidiary in Spain

With effect from 3rd April 2006, Beckhoff is officially represented in Spain with its own subsidiary, following cooperation with the distribution partner Logitek S.A. since 1998. The Managing Director of Barcelona-based Beckhoff Automation S.A. is 42-year old Xavier Martos, who has extensive sales experience with industrial control equipment.

"In a strongly growing market such as the Spain, we saw an increasing need to be represented directly, in order to optimally address the requirements of large customers and to intensify our business dealings", said Kai Ristau, Export Manager of Beckhoff Automation GmbH.

"In addition to distribution, the main office in Barcelona also deals with technical service and support. Over the short and medium term we will further expand our sales network in Spain", said Xavier Martos. "In June 2006 we will open a further office in Madrid, and we also intend to establish sales offices in other regions with a strong industry base, in order to be accessible locally for our customers."
