Enric Saavedra recently was named Girbau Global Laundry Solutions’ (Girbau) international key account director – making him the main point of contact between Girbau and Girbau North America (GNA). Acting as a liaison, Saavedra facilitates communication and collaboration between the companies, ensuring information flows effectively and that both companies understand each other’s needs and goals, according to GNA President Mike Floyd.
“Enric’s not only qualified to do this job, he’s been a longtime supporter of GNA and the business we do here,” Floyd said. “He’s worked our ‘Clean’ shows, interfaced with our distributors, met with our customers and understands our markets. He’s truly committed to growing North American sales.”
Saavedra, who joined Girbau in 2009, served as business development manager for 11 years before becoming APAC regional business leader in 2020. In his new role, he focuses on global accounts, of which GNA is the largest.
“Girbau’s commitment to the North American market is a top priority,” Saavedra said. “We expect our collaboration to expand distribution and lead us into developing new, high-quality laundry solutions with speed and precision.”
As an EVI Industries Inc. (EVI) company, GNA is stronger than it’s ever been, according to Vice President of Sales Joel Jorgensen. “Enric will help us to develop new products for specific niche markets and fill gaps in offerings and capabilities to grow overall sales,” he said.
