GLP, the leading global investment manager and business builder in logistics, digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and related technologies, today announces that it has appointed Jens Müller as Sales Director for GRS in Germany and CEE.
GRS (Global Robotics Services) is the robotics arm of GLP; a new innovative platform for customers and tenants seeking to optimise the productivity of their logistics operations throughout the warehouse, through the utilisation of robotic services. GRS offers collaborative robotics as a service (RaaS) solutions which provide customers with access to the benefits of robotics through an innovative subscription model, offering pay-as-you-go flexibility and avoiding CAPEX expenditure. GRS launched its first European project with GXO in Italy this year and has completed more than 30 robotics projects across Asia, with installations completed in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Based in Frankfurt, Jens will be responsible for developing new client relationships and supporting existing GRS customers across the region. He will also oversee commercial negotiation, working with project managers to ensure the ultimate success of projects.
Jens brings over 10 years of specialised experience in logistics, automation, robotics, and sales to GRS. Prior to GLP, Jens served as the Technical Sales Representative for Adlatus Robotics GmbH, a manufacturer and distributer of service robotics, where he led sales for Central Germany. Prior to this, Jens held a variety of positions across different industrial and automation companies, leading the establishment of sales operations in his role as Head of Sales at both Albert Pielhau GmbH and Herchenbach Industrial Buildings GmbH.
Hongming Chen, CEO of GRS remarked: “This is an exciting time for GRS’ expansion into Europe and we’re delighted to welcome Jens as we continue to build out our team. His extensive sectoral knowledge and prior experience leading and developing sales teams in the region will be invaluable as we roll out robotics solutions to more clients across Europe. The integration of automated solutions is only going to become more widespread in logistics; we are already experiencing huge demand for our services and see significant opportunity ahead in the European market.”
Jens Müller added: “GLP is a pioneer in warehouse robotics and is leading the way in making automation more accessible for companies across Europe with its innovative subscription model. The demand for efficient, safe robotics solutions in logistics continues to surge, and the GRS team possess a wealth of expertise when it comes to optimising the functionality of the warehouse. I’m proud to be joining the team and look forward to the journey ahead.”
