Rotthoff has set himself the target of substantially expanding the international business of this broadline distributor in neighbouring European countries.
As a prerequisite for this, Rutronik will be looking to forge ahead further with the strategic alignment of its international distribution organisation and the European harmonisation of its service range and structures.
By doing this, Europe's top-three distributor satisfies all the requirements for tapping into significant growth potential in future.
In his career to date, Frank Rotthoff has focused from a very early stage on international and worldwide activities, initially in the field of machine, plant and process technology and since 1989 in the semiconductor business.
This was followed by many years of international management experience and responsibility in marketing with a strong emphasis on distribution with leading manufacturers of semiconductors.
'As the largest independent distributor with a European origin, recent years have seen Rutronik invest heavily in the expansion of its European distribution and marketing organisation', explains Rotthoff.
'This puts us in an ideal position to support our customers throughout the area with commercial and technical expertise'.
'Our clear commitment to Europe guarantees that our customers receive optimum service due to the different market cycles and far-reaching independence from global supply and allocation constraints'.
'After many years of working in large corporations with non-European origins, it is precisely this set of circumstances that inspires me'.
'With our highly motivated and professional team, we shall continue to grow in Europe and remain a reliable partner to our customers'.
