Germany Gets FOR-A Business Development Manager

FOR-A is expanding its operations in Europe with the appointment of Klaus Graumann as Business Development Manager in Germany, reporting to FOR-A UK.
Well-known in the broadcast industry, Graumann creates a direct contact for the German broadcast industry that complements the existing services of FOR-A's local representative, Penta Studiotechnik GmbH.
Graumann is an established professional in the broadcast industry, having held international marketing positions formerly at Grass Valley Group, BTS and Sony as well as management and production positions at German ARD network broadcasters.
Graumann commented: "I'm excited to be a part of the FOR-A team. It is a solid business from Japan that has come through recent economic events not only in a stronger position, but also with some of the best technology, ideas and products in the business. There's great potential."
Penta Studiotechnik continues as the exclusive distributor and service point for FOR-A in Germany, while Graumann raises business opportunities and provides a local contact to FOR-A's European management.
Peter Jones, General Manager FOR-A UK, remarked: "Klaus has a wealth of experience in the broadcast industry and provides us with a direct contact for our German customers and we are delighted to have him working with us.
"This complements the excellent local support and representation already provided by Penta Studiotechnik, and shows our increasing commitment and support for the German market."
