Thermix: New Sales Director with an international perspective

Since November, Rolf Friedrich Buhl has been head of global sales and distribution of Thermix Warm Edge spacers for Ensinger

Nufringen, Germany, January 9, 2018 - From Lake Constance to the China Seas – in his capacity as engineer and executive in international sales and distribution, Rolf Friedrich Buhl has travelled far and wide. After ten years in Asia, the 54-year-old is now returning to his native region. Based in Ravensburg, he will be further expanding Thermix’s market shares in what is a growing global insulating glazing market.

Rolf Friedrich Buhl grew up in Friedrichshafen and studied mechanical engineering and international marketing. He worked as a design and sales engineer in the speciality mechanical engineering sector, was involved in consultancy projects in Africa and the Middle East, and for ten years was based in Hong Kong and Singapore where he was in charge of the expansion of Asia business for several industrial enterprises.

“I am delighted to now be able to combine my experience with a wide range of markets, people and cultures in a role with global responsibility”, says Buhl. “Thermix is a great product which makes it possible to considerably improve the energy efficiency of glazing and buildings. With customer benefit at the heart of our activities we will also have lots of new potential.”

The construction sector is growing worldwide. In order to achieve the climate protection goals, technical solutions are needed which make it possible to reduce energy consumption and hence CO2 emissions. Insulating glazing with Thermix Warm Edge spacers make a considerable contribution to increasing energy efficiency. At the same time, they ensure the living comfort and value retention of properties.

About Thermix

Thermix spacers improve the thermal separation of insulated glass windows, doors and facades. This helps save energy and consequently heating and cooling costs as well as cutting carbon emissions. As an insulated glazing edge bond system, Thermix spacers provide a “warm edge”. In addition, Thermix muntin bars produce the appearance of a genuine lattice window but with an excellent level of insulation. Both products can be simply and efficiently processed. Specially developed corner keys and straight connectors ensure well-fitting and secure connections every time. Thermix is a brand of Ensinger, one of the leading specialists in high-performance plastics. For more information, go to: www.thermix.de/en
