Ergomotion has appointed Nuno Corte Real Figueiredo to the newly created post of sales manager for Europe and the Middle East, as it expands its business into the regions.
“Adjustable bases are increasingly growing in popularity at the premium end of the market in Europe and the Middle East. Consumers are looking for greater design and product innovation and that is boosting our sales in these regions,” said Johnny Griggs, chief operating officer. “Nuno has a wide range of sales experience in the furniture industry and other industries covering more than two decades, and he will be able to make an immediate contribution to our business.”
Figueiredo, who has 20-plus years of experience as an international sales executive, was international sales manager for MPG, a Lisbon, Portugal-based manufacturer of office furniture, for the past two years. Prior to that, he was sales and marketing director and a member of the executive board of Gavedra, S.A., a distributor of hydraulic and gas construction equipment. During that time, he was the company’s representative in Mozambique.
He also held international sales posts at Prebuild, a Bogota, Colombia-based construction company, and Nautilus Portugal, and spent 14 years as export manager and later general manager of Didabrinca, a toy distributor.
