Odd Joergenrud, regional president North America, Robert Bosch LLC, Automotive Aftermarket, has announced a change in the division’s organizational structure to address the needs of a rapidly changing market. According to Joergenrud, the move also will provide enhanced support to all channel partners in the U.S. and Canada.

Effective July 1, Robert “Bobby” Bloom, senior vice president automotive aftermarket, assumed oversight of the Bosch Aftermarket Canadian operations in addition to his existing U.S. responsibilities. Reporting to Bloom, Niall Davidson will continue in his current role as vice president of sales/general manager of Bosch Automotive Aftermarket in Canada.

For Canadian customers, this realignment will be seamless, Bosch says. The company says it will continue to work with the current Bosch Aftermarket Canada team on a day-to-day basis; but that team will now have enhanced resources at their disposal, Bosch says.

“Uniting both operations under a single structure creates synergies within all functional areas that will enable increased agility and speed, resulting in even greater customer satisfaction,” said Joergenrud.
