On 1 August, Prokop Kocián took over as managing director at PohlCon Česká republika s.r.o. The plans for the future are clearly defined: expansion of the Czech market and a focus on technical consultancy services.
Prokop Kocián has over two decades’ experience in senior management roles. After starting out as an export manager at a major drainage technology company, he went on to hold positions as managing director for the Czech and Slovak markets at a well-known paint manufacturer and a Swedish manufacturer of sealing solutions. PohlCon brings him back into closer contact with the construction industry and technical products, thereby linking him thematically to his school-based training as a civil engineer.
With his sights firmly set on the coming months, Prokop Kocián aims to expand PohlCon’s presence in the Czech market – with an optimised product portfolio and expanded services:
“There will be a strong focus on technical consultancy: increased dialogue with customers, design offices and construction companies is, for me, a key selling point; an opportunity we should capitalise on.”
Initially, however, the focus will be on his team and day-to-day work processes:
“In the first month, I’ll be listening. I want to get to know and understand the people, their day-to-day tasks and areas of responsibility. Is everything running smoothly? Is there a need for adjustments? In the next step, we’ll decide on the structure of the product portfolio.”
The new managing director for PohlCon sees plenty of potential and scope for development in the Czech market. The opportunities for growth are vast, and Prokop Kocián is determined to make the most of them.
