After twenty-seven years with the Turbon Group, Managing Director, Rob Aukema bows out and hands over the reins to Ovidiu Stoichici who took over as Managing Director at the beginning of October.
Aukema joined Turbon in September 1992 when the reuse of printer consumables was in its infancy and Turbon were one of the pioneers developing replacement hoppers and developing reverse logistics and remanufacturing technology and techniques.
From his base in The Netherlands Aukema has travelled extensively over the last twenty-seven years looking after product development, production and distribution at the Turbon facilities in Romania and Thailand. More recently Aukema has incorporated the manufacturing requirements of the Turbon electrical division that produces speciality cable assemblies at the Romanian factory.
Talking to The Recycler last month Aukema said “I would like to thank Mr Turbon for the great opportunity working at the company and the great team that has supported me during my time at Turbon.“ Aukema is leaving the industry to take up a senior manufacturing role close to his home in The Netherlands.
Ovidiu Stoichici took over as Managing Director having joined Turbon in February 2014. In January this year Stoichici was appointed Director of Operations at Turbon as a precursor to taking over as Managing Director.
In other Turbon news Michael H. Pages, Executive Director and MD at the Turbon Group has exited the company following the recent reorganisation. Simon McCouaig who joined Turbon in December 2016 after seventeen years with NCR, takes over Pages role.
