Since the beginning of August Trevor has been with KOCH LP as the new Vice President. Trevor has been with the KOCH Group in Germany for over a year where he used the time to dive deeper into KOCH’s portfolio and its specialty machines.

“We are pleased to welcome Trevor to the team”, Christian Koch says. “His high sales and technical competence, his assertiveness as well as his ability to work in a team are optimal characteristics for this role.
We are convinced that with the new vice president we are very well positioned to support the future development of KOCH LP at the Smyrna, GA location for the North American market."

We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to Hans Meier who played a crucial part developing KOCH in the US market. For over 35 years he was the face of KOCH and pushed the company’s growth and success. As he transitions out of his role as VP, we are happy to announce that Hans will continue to be part of the KOCH family as he will support the team with his expertise as the senior key account manager.

Trevor is married with two children and originally from South Africa where he has spent the last 29 in the woodworking industry. He most recently worked at the largest Woodworking machinery supplier in South Africa: Austro (PTY) LTD representing a number of Italian, German and Austrian brands. He has extensive experience in the industry both from a sales and technical side having represented a number of leading German brands including KOCH in the South African market before his tender at Austro.
