Listgrove was appointed to manage the recruitment of three critical roles across Europe: Sales Managers for Germany, Italy and the wider EMEA region. Each role required a combination of technical understanding, excellent relationship-management skills, strong commercial instinct and the cultural agility to represent the Epsilon Composite brand across multiple markets and customer profiles.
Working on a retained basis, Listgrove partnered closely with Epsilon Composite’s leadership team to develop a tailored recruitment strategy, beginning with a clear definition of the technical competencies, behavioural profile and cultural attributes required for success in each market.
Listgrove’s multilingual consultants led an international search spanning Germany, Italy and the wider EMEA region, mapping talent both within the composites sector and adjacent advanced engineering fields. Search activity included targeted headhunting, referral sourcing and outreach to candidates experienced in working with OEMs and high-precision industrial environments.
Candidates were evaluated not only on their technical knowledge and sales capability, but also on their ability to engage credibly with engineering-led customers, translate complex materials and process engineering into commercial solutions, adapt to different cultures and business styles across Europe and operate autonomously while representing a premium, innovation-driven brand.
Close communication and weekly alignment with Epsilon Composite ensured a responsive and transparent process, allowing refinement at each stage and maintaining momentum across multiple international campaigns.
The Impact: Strengthening Market Reach Across Europe
Through this partnership, all three roles were successfully appointed, creating a cohesive and strategically positioned sales structure across Europe. The newly appointed team members have strengthened Epsilon Composite’s presence within key territories, deepened OEM and customer relationships, and generated new commercial opportunities in high-growth converting and flexographic printing markets.
In addition, the appointments have enhanced market visibility and created a stronger foundation for future expansion across engineered composites applications. By combining a structured search methodology with deep industry understanding and a focus on technical and cultural alignment, Listgrove helped Epsilon Composite secure the talent needed to support its long-term international growth ambitions.
