Worp has been with Hyundai for 13 years and has held a number of positions within the sales department and is moving up from director of construction equipment sales. For an interim period, he will fulfil both roles.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe predicts growth of 5% for 2016 compared with 2015. “This result would mean that Hyundai has shown rising market shares for the 7th consecutive year in growing sales numbers and/or an increase turn-over,” a corporate statement said.
Worp said Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe should see further growth. “However, due to the slow market conditions outside of Europe, we also expect that in 2017 Europe will be the region where all manufacturers will try to secure their business volumes and compensate for their slow sales elsewhere. This in turn will mean that business will once again be tough and challenging.”
Worp succeeds J.C. Jung who returned to Korea for the position of chief officer forklift division within Hyundai Construction Equipment.
