Double promotion for Polartec to drive global agenda

28/06/2013
Technical fabric producer Polartec has made two senior appointments to help drive the company’s expansion after a change of CEO and chief financial officer at the end of last year.

Juan Carlos González has been named international sales director and Eric Yung has been appointed sales manager for Europe.

Mr González joined the company in 1998 as a sales and marketing director for Spain, adding Portugal, Greece, the Middle East and Latin America to his remit. He was most recently commercial director for Europe and will be based in Zaragoza, Spain.

Mr Yung will oversee the company’s growth strategy in Europe. He has been marketing director for Europe for seven years, and helped to launch some of the company’s functional fabrics including Technical NeoShell, Power Shield Pro and most recently Polartec Alpha, which will be available in the autumn. He is based in Polartec’s French office in Marseille.
