The MND Group (FR0011584549, MND), an innovative developer of mountain and urban mobility solutions, is listed on the Paris Euronext market, compartment C.

In order to meet its strategic development targets in Asia and capitalise on the hosting of the 24th Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022, MND has placed Emanuel Morin at the head of its new subsidiary in China.

Emanuel Morin, 46, graduated from the IAE business school in Paris and holds a degree in Civil Engineering.

Emanuel began his career in 1993 as a civil engineer for Soletanche Bachy, a company specialising in foundations and soil improvement. From 1996 to 1999 he worked in Asia as a sales engineer for Atlas Copco and PCM Pumps.

Thanks to his knowledge of the Asian market, in January 2000 Mr. Morin was promoted to the position of area manager for lifting and handling equipment manufacturer Netra Systems. For four years he supervised the creation, training and management of sales teams and representatives in China and Australia.

In February 2006 he was made General Manager of the Poma Group's Chinese subsidiary, where he accumulated vast experience in the field of ski lifts during his eight-year spell with the company.

 "I am very happy to be joining a group like MND. Its comprehensive product range gives it enormous potential for growth in the Asian region. I am delighted to be able to contribute my expertise and knowledge of the Chinese and Asian market", Emanuel Morin explained.

"His understanding of our business, his contacts in the region and his experience of the markets are real assets for MND", CEO Xavier Gallot-Lavallée confirmed. "The launch of our Beijing subsidiary and the appointment of Emanuel to manage it are major milestones for our expansion in these key markets".
