Horb am Neckar, Germany, March 2011. After establishing a production facility in Australia, DEGERenergie now is setting up a dedicated distribution structure there. For this purpose, the company has recruited Florian Falk Naumann as Country Manager for Australia. DEGERenergie is the global market leader for solar tracking systems.
Florian Naumann brings a broad range of competence and practical experience to his new function: Before joining DEGERenergie, he worked as a tutor at the University of Queensland and was a lecturer in Finance, Entrepreneurship and Marketing at a private business college in Australia. Prior to this, he was a consultant for technical products in the telecommunications industry and a business analyst in the field of import/export at an international company.
After completing a dual-award degree in International Business Studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Dresden and the University of Salford/Manchester and graduating with a Diploma in Business Administration (FH) and a Bachelor of Sciences (Hon) in Business, Florian Naumann moved to Australia. He obtained a Master“s in Technology and Innovation Management from The University of Queensland, specialising in technology commercialisation und sustainability. In addition, he acquired a Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology (QUT) and a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English.
Healthy market growth expected in Australia
The „Clean Energy Future“ initiative recently adopted by the Australian government is already having an effect and causing a surge in demand, as DEGERenergie reports. The company is convinced that the market for renewable energies there will grow solidly and sustainably. DEGERenergie“s MLD technology will play an essential role in this scenario, since it excels in its economic efficiency. In order to optimally meet the demand, DEGERenergie put into operation a production facility in the state of Victoria at the beginning of November and has now recruited his new Country Manager to set up the distribution network for DEGERenergie in Australia.
Florian Naumann: „I love Germany and I love Australia and I would like to bring together the sheer inexhaustible natural resource of Australia – solar energy – and German technology. It is my vision to use this opportunity to contribute to a future worth living on this planet.“ The pragmatic perspective is no less attractive: „After the decision of the government to promote green energy, Australia will develop into a strong market for renewable energies. It is my objective to position DEGERenergie at the head of the Australian solar PV market.“
