PRESS RELEASE: FLSmidth is realigning its organisation from four divisions to two industries, namely cement and mining, and from a country setup into an agile regional structure.

Sales and service will be decentralised in seven regions (North America; South America; Europe, Russia and North Africa; sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East; Asia; subcontinental India; and Australia), while ownership for the full life-cycle offering will be anchored in the two industries. The move aims to enforce a productivity-driven organisation with a strong, unified digital approach.

Group CEO Thomas Schulz said: "With the end markets recovering, our customers accelerate to invest in productivity-enhancing and digital solutions. To support our customers' growth, the two industries, cement and mining, will deliver integrated productivity offerings through the regions. Our decentralised organisation will give us a strong point of entry to offer our customers key products, shorter delivery times and a strong service setup.

"By enhancing our service level, investing in digitalisation and bringing stronger life-cycle offerings to the market, we will expand and grow our wallet share with targeted customers."
