ANCA Announces European Leadership Appointments

ANCA has added to its leadership team in Europe, representing an ever-expanding footprint strengthened by over 30 years in the region. Edmund Boland takes the role of general manager Europe; Martin Winterstein, an external appointment, will take the position of sales manager Europe and Jan Langfelder moves to global key accounts manager.

Boland has worked at ANCA for 15 years across several roles. He brings a broad range of expertise, having worked in ANCA’s finance, operational and application teams. He has most recently led the global supply chain, including successfully bringing ANCA through the COVID pandemic — the most disruptive supply chain event in living memory.

Boland says of Langfelder, “Much of ANCA Europe’s success has been due to the deep market knowledge, technical acumen, strong customer relationships and leadership of Jan Langfelder. Taking on the new role of global key accounts manager is another exciting development for ANCA, with Jan focusing on strengthening our customer relationships in a critical time.”

Winterstein has led global, multinational teams in a number of successful machining businesses. Most recently, Martin worked as the chief sales officer, managing director at Gehring Technologies GmbH in Ostfildern. Prior to that, he was the director global market sales and market service at Liebherr Verzahntechnik GmbH in Kempten. He has also worked for MAG Europe GmbH in a number of roles and at ThyssenKrupp MetalCutting, Hüller Hille GmbH in Ludwigsburg.
