Hi-Tec to relocate global headquarters
26/11/2010
The move will take place in the new year and incorporates the group’s product development, design, marketing and finance functions.
“Hi-Tec is primed for growth and Amsterdam is the hub for some of the best talent in our industry and is also an extremely creative environment for the entire team to benefit from,” said Ed Van Wezel, the company's general manager, and son of its founder, Frank Van Wezel. “We are extremely proud of our roots and will continue to run and invest in our successful UK subsidiary.”
Martin Binnendijk, formally European chief executive, will now become the group’s new chief finance officer. This position was previously held by Bob Kaiser who has been named as the chief executive of the US business of Hi-Tec brand Magnum.
Meanwhile Hi-Tec USA has relocated to Portland, Oregon under chief executive, Bill Berta. Ian Cameron, previously UK sales director, has been announced as Hi-Tec UK’s managing director effective from January 2011.
The move comes as an extremely integral time for the brand whose consumer launch of a new brand philosophy, “Inspired by Life”, will also be unveiled in early January.
Further announcements concerning Hi-Tec’s restructure including new appointments within the global and Hi-Tec UK operations will be made in the new year.
