Amann Girrbach North America, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the European dental group Amann Girrbach, has appointed Georg Eickhoff as its new president.

Eickhoff, former CFO at Amann Girrbach’s headquarters in Austria, is now overseeing all US operations. Eickhoff joined Amann Girrbach in June 2008 and has held various management positions. As CFO, he played a leading role in the setup of distribution channels in Brazil and China.

Amann Girrbach North America and its US-based team are cooperating with several distribution partners throughout the US to provide its entire laboratory product portfolio and high-quality services to US customers.

“Amann Girrbach has grown into market-leading position worldwide and I am excited about the opportunity to support the growth plans in the US," Eickhoff says. "We have a great team, a lot of new innovative products, and great partners in place, and I look forward to further growing our customer base and making sure our customers and partners get the best products and service possible.”

The managerial update comes at the same time as a physical location change. Amann Girrbach North America, LP, recently moved its local office, hosting a service center, hotline, and training center, to a new location at South Point office park in Charlotte, North Carolina. The new address is 13900 South Lakes Drive, Suite D, Charlotte, NC 28273. All phone numbers remain the same. The new location features a renovated training center, which is used for internal and external product trainings and continuing education lectures.
