DYWIDAG Strengthens Growth Strategy With Managing Director Appointment

Global engineering technology specialist, DYWIDAG, has appointed Peter Assinder as Managing Director for its UK & Ireland region.

In his role, Peter will continue the growth of the region's core sectors of ground engineering solutions, concrete construction products and infrastructure monitoring.

peaking of his appointment, Peter said: "I was delighted to accept this fantastic opportunity. My focus is to serve our existing and future customers to make sure we deliver on the expertise, experience and knowledge of the DYWIDAG brand in our core and target markets. I will leverage our global competence and offer the region existing and new technologies emerging in our group within the energy and infrastructure markets. It is also exciting to be leading a region that is pioneering a large part of the group’s digital monitoring of infrastructure assets to ensure safety and durability of existing and new structures. I appreciate that DYWIDAG is still rightly very well-known for its famous threadbar, but today we offer a lot more."
