NSK Europe Announces Operational Realignment
NSK Europe is set to undertake a strategic realignment, integrating the leadership and operations of its European Industrial Business Unit (EIBU) and European Automotive Business Unit (EABU). The move is designed to further strengthen the company’s focus on customers, to enhance its operational efficiency, and to position the business for continued success across both the automotive and industrial sectors.
The new structure is intended to enable NSK Europe to optimise collaboration across key functions, including manufacturing, engineering, procurement, project management and sales, whilst also maintaining dedicated customer focus and technical excellence across all the sectors it operates in.
The new organisational model reflects NSK’s commitment to agility, simplicity, and sustainability, and the company believes it will allow it to better serve the evolving needs of the business. Customer relationships remain at the heart of this transformation, with the sales function continuing to serve the industrial market and the automotive sector, as well as NSK's Global Aftermarket and Linear Motion Segment, with dedicated teams.
As part of this change, NSK Europe is pleased to announce the appointment of Matthieu Lavieuville as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). In this new role, Mr Lavieuville will oversee the merger of the Automotive and Industrial segments, before leading all NSK’s operational activities across Europe, the Middle East and Africa including sales, engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, and logistics.
Mr Lavieuville will continue to report to CEO Dr Ulrich Nass, who commented, ‘This evolution marks an exciting chapter for NSK Europe. By bringing together the strengths of our industrial and automotive segments, we’re creating a more agile, integrated structure that supports our customers even more effectively. Matthieu’s leadership will be instrumental as we move forward on this exciting journey.’
Mr Lavieuville himself added, ‘I’m honoured to take on this new role and to work alongside such a talented and committed team. This realignment is a great opportunity to build on our collective strengths and to deliver even greater value to our customers.’
