Spanish bike manufacturer Orbea has promoted Julien Remazeilles to sales manager for the European market. Officially effective June 1, the experienced Orbea employee will be responsible for Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Benelux, Austria, Denmark, Ireland and Switzerland. In this newly created position, Remazeilles reports directly to Orbea’s global sales manager, Gonzalo Garcia de Salazar. According to the company, the creation of the new position is due in part to the growth the bicycle manufacturer has experienced in recent years and in part to the specific goals the company has set for the future. Both require an appropriate structure. Remazeilles has worked for Orbea for more than ten years, the last five of which as country manager for France. His successor in this position will be Maxime Morel.
