The Armstrong philosophy is based on a number of core principles: Community, Service, Learning and Innovation.

Based on this, the company supports its clients in a variety of industries, including hospitality, retail, residential, data centers, industrial, commercial, transportation, education, energy services, government, healthcare, and the pharmaceutical industry. As part of its European growth strategy and to solidify its European market presence, GAIN successfully filled the position of Regional Sales Manager West & Northern Europe in June 2022.

Although the European sales hub is located in Mannheim, the search mandate included the challenge of finding an international sales manager who knows the regional markets in France, Benelux and Northern Europe. With Cédric Meurens, an experienced salesman with an international background from the direct pump competition was finally found. The experienced businessman with a strong technical affinity has worked as a sales manager for well-known companies such as Rehau or Grundfos in his previous professional positions and has excellent market expertise. At AFT, Cédric Meurens sees his further career step in an international sales position, with the opportunity to successfully position the brand in Europe and to actively participate in its growth.
