Korean-based conglomerate Doosan Infracore has appointed a new president for the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Scott Nelson succeeds Alberto Fornaro, who, in addition to his position as CFO of the group, has served since the beginning of the year as president of the EMEA region.
Apart from being a brand in its own right, Doosan is best known for the Bobcat compact equipment range, which it bought from Ingersoll Rand in 2007. The group also produces generator sets under the IR brand.
Announcing the appointment, Tony Helsham, CEO of the Korean firm noted: “Scott is uniquely qualified for this role, having presided over the successful establishment of the regional headquarters at Waterloo in Belgium and the opening of the compact equipment plant in Dobris in the Czech Republic. He has a strong relationship with the staff, the dealers, operations and the markets in the EMEA region.”
