New Parvalux MD plans to expand the business globally
Parvalux CEO Steven Clark has appointed Justin Levine as managing director. Levine brings two decades of experience within leading large-scale businesses in the field of industrial automation. As executive vice-president with Schneider Electric Motion he led global businesses with a combined P&L responsibility for EUR150M. As such, he brings a global perspective in both marketing and production technologies, as well as a strong desire to build Parvalux into a world-class supplier of reliable electric motors and gearboxes.
Having lived and worked in Europe, Asia and the USA, Levine has considerable understanding of producing industrial products for an international stage. Laying out his vision for the future, Levine says: "I believe we have massive potential to out-perform the market. The foundations are in place: sixty years of profitable success, an unrivalled range of reliable products, and a fast-turnaround prototyping service. It is my view that we simply need to start telling people about it."
At the heart of Levine's strategy lies a fanatical desire to continuously improve the customer experience. He states: "Parvalux has always been a dark horse. It is my view that if we respond to the market faster with an enhanced competitive edge and a holistic approach to our customers needs, then our share of the market will grow exponentially."
In addition to improving the customer experience, Levine will broaden the product offer considerably in months to come. "We are strengthening our development team with world-class design professionals with the key goal of producing two new product line-ups annually. Our product offer already encompasses state-of-the-art technologies such as DC brushless motors and planetary gearboxes; our future plans are to push the performance envelope while simultaneously reducing cost with best-in-class production technologies."
