ELA Offshore Plans International Expansion

ELA Container Offshore GmbH announced that three new employees have joined the company to expand its international activities. Since its founding in August 2014 the company now counts 15 employees.

“Next to our sales representative in the Netherlands and Belgium we decided to expand our activities within Northern Europe and the Middle East,” said managing director of ELA Container Offshore GmbH, Hans Gatzemeier.

Within the first six months the new employees will complete a training at the headquarters in Haren (Ems), Germany, to learn everything about the offshore container business: from production and transportation up to assembly and customer service. According to Gatzemeier these basics are essential for explaining and highlighting the different types of ELA Offshore Containers and its benefits to potential clients.

“Working in a ‘blue-collar’ in the production line helps to get familiar with the container and its structure by heart. This training gives me great insights that I will need for my future tasks,” said new business development manager Northern Europe at ELA Container Offshore GmbH, Niels Albers.

The Middle East region will now also be served by a business development manager. Seif El Guindy recently joined the team and is currently doing his traineeship in Germany before joining the ELA group's subsidiary in Dubai to expand offshore business within the region.
