ZF Services UK has promoted Alex Acosta to Partner Manager, highlighting the commercial vehicle specialist’s longstanding commitment to investing in technical expertise, sales support and its expanding Service Partner network.

Alex began his career at ZF at the age of 17 as a workshop technician. That initial role enabled him to explore the various products and services ZF supplies, while also studying at college before progressing to his previous role as a sales engineer. Over the years, he has gained a wealth of experience and has continued to enhance his industry knowledge and expertise, which he will use in his new position to further support the service partners in joint business development opportunities.

Alex will also be responsible for implementing training plans for existing ZF products and for Service Readiness Orders in conjunction with OE Sales, while ensuring that the service network is able to satisfy market requirements for the commercial vehicle industry. He will remain in contact with ZF’s customers throughout Ireland and the UK to assist with sales requirements and opportunities in the form of new accounts sales, preventative pre-failure overhaul campaigns and electric retrofit projects.
