In April of this year, Endress+Hauser South Africa’s current managing director, Rob Mackenzie, moves to the Endress+Hauser head office in Reinach, Switzerland, to take up the position of corporate director sales excellence. After just more than 10 years as MD of the South African operation, he has been invited to head up the sales excellence project team for the global operation.

This is an exciting opportunity for me and also for our organisation here in South Africa,” says Mackenzie. “Over the last 10 years we have built an incredibly strong team of leaders and processes. I am the fourth managing director in the 38-year history of Endress+Hauser in South Africa, during which we have remained the market leader for process instrumentation in the region. We have built an organisation of more than 120 people, we have assisted more than 200 instrument technicians and engineers to complete their training, and we have employed more than one third of them. Now is the time for a new person to take Endress+Hauser South Africa to the next level.
“I am of course extremely pleased to be staying in the Endress+Hauser organisation. This incredible company has become my home. Our vision is to be a successful family company in laboratory and process automation, whose customers around the world trust our products, solutions and services to improve their processes, and thus their products, sustainably. This is a vision that I believe in. My years of working in the southern African region, in a successful Endress+Hauser organisation, have put me in a place where I believe we can take our global message to every corner of the world. I hope to take a good portion of our South African culture, friendliness and commitment to succeed along for the ride.
“In the years that I have been in this role I have made many good friends and business partners – I hope you will keep in touch through LinkedIn or other media. Certainly, I still have family and friends in South Africa and I look forward to returning whenever I get the opportunity.”
