Gorner returns with Epwin board post
25th August 2015

EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS has announced ‘a real coup’ with the appointment of Wolfgang Gorner as Sales Director.

Gorner, best-know for his 13 years at Rehau before leaving the industry two years ago, will have responsibility for overseeing the sales and marketing of the key Epwin systems brands of Profile 22, Spectus and Swish, which between them command more than 16% of the UK systems market. It is the most senior appointment made by Managing Director Clare O’Hara since her own appointment earlier this year:

Describing the appointment as ‘a real coup’ for Epwin and its customers, she added: “We have ambitious plans for each of our brands and we need the best people in the business to achieve them. Wolfgang remains one of the best known and most popular names in the business and brings with him huge experience and proven leadership. I am delighted that he is joining us at Epwin. Our customers can take his appointment as further evidence of our commitment to them.”

Wolfgang Gorner added: “When I was approached by Epwin and heard what they had to say about the investment and plans for the future I could not resist the opportunity to join the company. Epwin and its associated brands have always been a major force within the industry. Having seen the plans, the clear goal is to make Epwin the number one choice for UK and Irish fabricators and installers and I am delighted to join Clare and the team to help make this a reality.

“I am really excited about returning to the window business. It has provided me with the ideal opportunity to rejoin a market that I have long been passionate about. I'm am also delighted to be joining a Group that is British financed and controlled, in an industry dominated by overseas parents. There is real investment being made both in new products and new technologies, the most ambitious from any extruder for many years and beginning in September my intention is to get around to our customers as soon as possible to tell them about these extraordinary plans.”
