Since
our founding in
1987, ART has
conducted executive
searches for
companies
manufacturing and
selling the broadest
range of mechanical,
electro-mechanical
and electronic
components and
equipment. In this
very diverse sector,
our involvement has
included recruitment
in R&D,
Engineering,
Manufacturing,
Quality, Supply
Chain, Sales,
Marketing, Business
Development, Finance
and General
Management.
Because
of our long
experience
recruiting in such a
vast array of
products and
disciplines, we are
easily able to help
our clients find
good managers. We
have recruited among
companies that make
the components that
go into our client's
equipment, as well
as the companies
that are our
clients' customers.
Being familiar with
the "food chains"
involved in the
making and selling
of our clients'
products helps us
quickly find the
right kind of
candidates to
improve their
products or build
their revenue
streams.
Some
companies that work
with ART are global
players, while some
are medium-sized or
fast-growing small
players. What they
all have in common
is a need to improve
their management
teams in order to
advance. Our
knowledge of their
product category and
markets can be a
helpful aid,
especially since we
recruit worldwide.
There is no need for
companies to have to
rely on marginally
useful distributors
overseas, for
example, when ART
probably already
knows the right
people to get a
company's products
into the hands of a
wide range of new
customers in new
markets.
