“I am really excited to be taking on the responsibility for Schaeffler’s industrial sales in the UK and Ireland,” said Leigh. “As a technology leader, our local team of bearing experts are a key part of the Schaeffler Global Technology Network. They place the highest value on customer relationships and improving the total cost of ownership by delivering the right technical solutions for customers.”
