Ansmann Group Expands Racing Division for 2012

Ansmann AG, the €50 million parent company of Ansmann Racing has announced major expansion plans for their increasingly successful Racing division. The small office in Nuremberg will now relocate to their head office complex in Assamstadt where more than 256 employees are already based. A new 25,000 square feet warehouse and office expansion has just been completed that allows plenty of room for AR to continue to grow in the future. “This move ensures that the full resources of the Ansmann Group can be utilised by our fast growing Ansmann Racing division,” said Shaun Collins, their UK Racing Business Manager.

In addition to the existing staff that have moved from the Nuremberg office, there is also a major recruitment campaign in place to expand up all areas of the German operation for Ansmann Racing. This includes regional sales, international sales, internal sales, purchasing, marketing and product management. Their newest appointment is Bertram Menzel who started on 1 January 2012 as a Senior Product Manager. He was the RC Product Manager for the giant German electronic store chain Conrad and he brings 12 years of RC experience in a major retail chain with him.
