GLOBAL PALFINGER ORGANIZATION
The GLOBAL PALFINGER ORGANIZATION (GPO) builds on flexible global team structures and stronger cooperation across areas, product segments and regions. With its global structures, it reduces the complexity of the global Group and makes processes simpler and more productive.
Six global functions provide for clear-cut guidance; they report directly to the Executive Board. Special executive projects have also been designated at group level. At an operational level, global responsibilities were created for the individual product lines. The new organizational structure will contribute towards unlocking unutilized potential within the whole Group. The GPO will thus provide valuable support to PALFINGER’s further profitable growth.
6 Global Functions:
• Sales and Service
• Human Resources
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• Procurement
• Operations
• Product Line Management (PLM)
