Even with the adverse conditions of 2020, President of Sonepar in Brazil, Yannick Laporte sent a message of well-wishes all associates at the start of the new year, and reminded them that the company closed 2020 with many reasons to celebrate.
Looking towards what lies ahead for the company, Yannick shared, “We have successfully concluded the merger of Dimensional and DW in the end of the year, resulting in a well structured new company, ready to develop and expand its national sales of solutions in electrical materials, PPEs and services. Alongside Nortel, a generalist company and national leader on the MRO market, and Eletronor, a Rockwell Automation leader company in the south region, we have now three important enterprises in Brazil, all of them very prepared to supply differentiated and added value solutions and experiences for our customers. This will be another year full of great challenges and achievements for Sonepar.”
