Coventry houses the activities of engineering, program management and sales”, added Andrew Gill, Global Customer Line Director and Key Account Executive BENTELER Automotive. With this new location and the existing component plant in Corby, BENTELER strengthens its existing relationship with Jaguar Land Rover who has been a customer since the late 1980’s. “Due to our long-term working relationship, we are able to support in various fields and develop new technologies. We provide a high level of innovation skills and problem-solving expertise”, Gill completes. In addition to England, BENTELER also supplies Jaguar Land Rover in Brazil, India and China, as well as continental Europe.
