On 1 August 2022, Mehdi Mezni (36) will take over from Jean-Marie Schmidt as managing director of Baumer hhs Sarl, based in Civrieux near Lyon, which serves customers in North Africa as well as France. Mezni joined Baumer hhs Sarl at the beginning of 2019.
Previously, he worked in B2B sales and business development, among other roles, for eight years. In 2011, he completed his Industrial Chemistry studies with a Bachelor of Engineering, followed by a Master of Science (Engineering) and a Master of Business (Sales & Project Management) in 2015.
Mezni counts the further intensification of the traditionally very close relationships between Baumer hhs and its customers among his primary goals: "Our company is known in the market for its consistent orientation towards the concrete requirements of its customers in the various geographical regions of the world. This is becoming even more important with the fundamental changes in global industry. This also applies in particular to the digitalisation and networking of production processes. In the packaging industry, the sustainability of products and processes as well as the keyword zero-defect production are also becoming more and more important. More than ever, our customers must be able to trust that Baumer hhs, with its experts, its innovative solutions for industrial adhesive application, including the associated quality assurance and its services, is the right strategic partner for them in the long term. In this sense, I will seamlessly continue the commitment of my predecessor Jean-Marie Schmidt."
Schmidt had taken over the management of Baumer hhs Sarl, now with seven employees, at the time of its foundation in 2006. Since then, he has established the company as a reliable partner in France and in the markets of North Africa. He is leaving Baumer hhs to pursue new challenges in the coming years.
"We are pleased to be able to hand over responsibility for our company in France and North Africa to an experienced leader in Mehdi Mezni, who counts B2B sales and business development among his hobbies. Mezni is also very familiar with the requirements of the markets in France and North Africa. We wish Jean-Marie Schmidt every success for his professional future and thank him for his extremely successful work for our company," explains Baumer hhs Managing Director Percy Dengler.
