Bauer Gear Motor, part of Altra Industrial Motion, has opened a new sales office in Finland which will act as the first point of contact for all of its Scandinavian customers. The office is located a few minutes away from Helsinki Airport to make direct access to customers throughout the region more readily available.

As Bauer's business continues to grow throughout Europe, it has made the strategic decision to open a new sales office that is close to a major airport to ensure that its staff can easily meet with new and existing customers across Scandinavia. The improved contact is expected to allow Bauer's expert sales engineers to work more closely with their customers during the design and installation stages to maximise the efficiency of the application.

Michael Endermann, Bauer's European sales director, comments: "Scandinavia is an important market for us and one that we believe has a lot of potential for further growth. A benefit of being part of Altra Industrial Motion is the stability this creates which affords us the opportunity to invest in new offices which, we believe, will improve our support services. This is an extremely exciting move for us and we look forward to using the opportunity to develop our customer relationships."
