Nitrex Expands International Sales Representative Network

Nitrex welcomes Mr. Ali Akgunes as its new manufacturer representative in Romania and Türkiye. Akgunes brings decades of experience in sales and business development to his new role at Nitrex, where he will lead sales initiatives and guide new business growth for Nitrex and member companies G-M Enterprises and UPC-Marathon.

 

NITREX is pleased to welcome our newest manufacturer representative, Mr. Ali Akgunes, for Romania and Türkiye. Akgunes will handle the complete portfolio of G-M Enterprises (G-M) vacuum furnaces and UPC-Marathon (UPC, formerly United Process Controls) process and flow controls and automation solutions in Türkiye. In Romania, he will also represent Nitrex for the sale of nitriding and nitrocarburizing systems in addition to G-M and UPC products.

Ali Akgunes brings over 20 years of experience in the metal manufacturing industry working closely with aerospace, defense, and machine tool companies. A solutions provider to hundreds of fabricated metal part manufacturers, Akgunes has earned a strong reputation among his customers for helping them maximize heat-treating operations with comprehensive manufacturing solutions and after-sales support services. Having worked extensively with both manufacturing and maintenance teams has also given him a realistic understanding of the needs and services of the industry.

“Serving these countries with state-of-art furnaces and control solutions and being able to solve customer pain points related to application and process development as well as productivity are the most satisfying rewards that come with my job. Today, my partnership with industry leader Nitrex and its member companies will open new opportunities for more end-to-end heat-treat solutions and deliver extra value thanks to the synergies between their product portfolio. From turnkey nitriding systems to vacuum furnaces, process control solutions, and combustion optimization technologies, these advanced solutions will help customers improve their manufacturing operations and performance.”

“This region is one of the fastest developing in the world and home to a strong manufacturing industry across several sectors. With his operational knowledge of the Romanian and Turkish markets, combined with his proven technical skills in end-user support, Akgunes is the perfect ally to tap into this growing market. He will work in collaboration with our current sales and services team in the region to accelerate growth in existing markets and to develop new market opportunities. We are excited by the opportunities that our partnership will bring and are eager to work with new customers to tackle heat treating challenges and find new ways of improving quality using more efficient, future proof and scalable solutions,” said Michel Frison, Vice-President Global Sales of the Nitrex Turnkey Systems (NTS) division.
