Lu-Ve establishes subsidiary in Austria

Gerhard Neuhauser

AUSTRIA: Italian heat exchanger product manufacturer Lu-Ve has established a new subsidiary in Vienna.

Lu-Ve Austria GmbH will be led by Gerhard Neuhauser, who has been acting as a Lu-Ve consultant for the last eight months. Prior to that he spent 18 months as head of sales in Austria and Eastern European countries for heat exchanger manufacturer Thermofin. He was also previously president of European air conditioning and refrigeration contractors group AREA.

Neuhauser will be working alongside Markus Neuhold, who has been Lu-Ve’s representative in Austria since February 2011.

Lu-Ve Austria GmbH will deal with the entire product range for commercial and industrial refrigeration as well as air conditioning. 

“We aim not only to improve our support to Austrian customers but also to find new ones and new segments in both Germany and Switzerland,” said Lu-Ve CEO Matteo Liberali. “We are confident that Gerhard’s great capacity to develop business opportunities and grow new markets will bring excellent results in the German-speaking areas.”

Lu-Ve Austria GmbH expands the sales network of the Group, already present in Italy, France, Germany, Poland, the UK, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the Middle East, China, India and Australia.
