Clean Diesel Strengthens Organization In Direct Response To Global Growth
Stamford, CN - Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. , the cleantech emissions reduction company, recently announced the strengthening of its worldwide organization in direct response to rapid business growth and new opportunities for Clean Diesel products throughout the world.
``This prudent expansion of Clean Diesel's business team through the addition of new leadership positions and the growth of existing roles is a logical outcome of our significant increase in commercial activity worldwide,'' said Dr. Bernhard Steiner, CEO of Clean Diesel Technologies. ``In Europe, demand for Clean Diesel emissions reduction technologies and solutions continues to grow in response to strict compliance requirements for new diesel engines and from the proliferation of new low emission zones (LEZ) being planned in major European cities.
``Furthermore, Clean Diesel's recent announcement of a licensing agreement in China signaled the start of new business opportunities throughout the Asia Pacific region. The rapid industrialization of this region and the consequent deterioration of air quality, combined with new government legislation, are creating one of the world's largest markets for emissions reduction solutions,'' added Dr. Steiner.
``To support our global sales initiatives, we have also filled a key marketing and strategy position to communicate a clear and consistent message across all markets. The growth and expanded focus of the Clean Diesel team will allow us to concentrate our efforts on effectively addressing these global opportunities,'' continued Dr. Steiner.
Dan Skelton, formerly Commercial Director, Europe, has been promoted to Vice President, Europe, reporting to Tim Rogers, Executive Vice President, International. In this position, Dr. Skelton will assume operational responsibility for Europe, allowing Rogers to focus his attention on the important growth markets in Asia, including China and India. These changes complement the recent appointment of Klaus Schmidt as Manager of German Operations, reporting to Dr. Skelton.
In addition, the recent appointment of John Lash as Senior Director, Strategic Development, brings a global lead to the Company's marketing and strategic development activities.
