Minebea Intec, a leading global manufacturer of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, is setting its sights on continued international growth with the return of Frank Wieland as Chief Sales Officer (CSO). The appointment signals the company’s commitment to reinforcing its global sales operations.
“Our markets are global, and we want to consistently expand our position in all regions,” emphasises Dr Karl Sommer, CEO and COO at Minebea Intec. “With his many years of experience in international sales, his industry expertise in weighing and inspection technology and his excellent network, Frank Wieland has the ideal qualifications for this.”
Focus on Global Expansion and Customer Proximity
For nearly two decades, Frank Wieland has played an instrumental role in shaping Minebea Intec’s success in various positions – most recently as CSO. Now returning to this pivotal leadership role, he will oversee sales, marketing, product management, and service, with a strong focus on driving further international growth. The priority will be to expand the company’s presence in key growth markets, particularly in Asia, while continuing to improve service for customers worldwide.
“It’s about successfully placing our new generation of products on the market and expanding our market position in the face of global competition,” explains Wieland. “In addition, efficient sales structures, proximity to our customers and local support are key factors for further growth.”
Strategic Continuity in Management
This leadership change follows the retirement of Peter Grimley from his role as CSO. Grimley will continue to support Minebea Intec as Vice Chairman, where he will focus on specialist areas and provide strategic guidance to the Board.
With the return of Frank Wieland, Minebea Intec reaffirms its dedication to delivering exceptional support to customers and partners worldwide through strong sales teams, an enhanced regional presence, and innovative solutions that improve precision, efficiency, and safety across industrial processes.
