Conex Bänninger strengthens Irish presence with key sales appointment

Paul brings extensive experience in business development, having worked across multiple sectors including steel, plumbing and heating. In his previous role, he successfully led a sales team covering both Ireland and the UK, driving growth and opening new sales channels for a diverse range of products.

Commenting on his appointment, Paul said: “I’m excited to be joining Conex Bänninger at such a dynamic time for both the company and the Irish market. Conex Bänninger is a trusted and highly respected brand with a 115-year track record of delivering high-quality, innovative solutions.

“The construction market in Ireland is currently very active, with strong demand driven by high-density developments, urban regeneration and a growing focus on sustainable housing. This creates real opportunities for us to increase market share across multiple sectors.

“The supply model here differs from the UK, with products manufactured at our facilities in Spain and Poland and distributed through Hevac. This gives us strong logistical support and flexibility to meet local market needs quickly and efficiently.

“In particular, I see significant growth potential for our >B< MaxiPro and K65 solutions in the ACR sector, especially as new EU regulations are due to come into force mandating the use of CO₂ refrigerant in commercial refrigeration systems.

“Our products are ideally positioned to help contractors and end users meet these emerging requirements.”

Lisa Cox, National Sales Manager – UK & Ireland, added: “Ireland is a strategically important market for us, with high levels of construction activity across both residential and commercial sectors. Paul’s appointment is a key part of our growth strategy. His proven sales leadership, deep market knowledge, and commercial expertise will be instrumental as we capitalise on the many opportunities ahead.”
