The foundry group BIRN Group has chosen Flemming Juel Jensen as its new Group Director with responsibility for the continued development of the group across Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Italy. The appointment follows Claus Beier's resignation from his position as Group Director in October.
Flemming Juel Jensen brings more than 25 years of international experience from the foundry and industrial sectors, including 20 years with the DISA Group, a close partner of BIRN, where he has held senior positions in sales and business development at a global level. Most recently, he has been Global Export Sales Director at Dantherm Group and Senior Vice President at Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC), where he spearheaded the establishment of a new business unit within green energy and international service projects.
"We are incredibly pleased to welcome Flemming as the new Group Director of the BIRN Group. With his solid industry knowledge, commercial insight and human approach, we are gaining a leader who can continue and develop BIRN in line with our values. We are absolutely convinced that Flemming is the right person to continue BIRN's journey," says Lars Lüthjohan, Chairman of the Board of BIRN Group.
Flemming Juel Jensen began his career in the foundry industry as a teenager, cleaning a small foundry in Dalby after school. Since then, he has worked his way up through the industry to senior positions with responsibility for markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
