Senior European Building Executives Sven Flohr & Roy Rayment to
Spearhead Expansion
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Mackenzie Keck Construction, Inc., a leading provider of general
contracting, construction management, and consulting services for
upscale retail and other enterprises, announced today it will launch a
new division in Europe to meet the demand for its services overseas.
Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, Mackenzie Keck Construction GmbH will
be led by Director of European Operations, Sven Flohr, a senior
building industry professional with more than 20 years of experience.
Roy Rayment, who has over 25 years of experience in construction
project management in Europe and the United States, will serve as
Project Executive.
According to Dan Keck, CEO of Mackenzie Keck Construction, the
company will open a second European office in London, England later
this year and is also considering additional international offices in
Toronto, Dubai, and New Delhi in 2009. "Our new European presence
represents a major development in our international expansion plans,
but we also see additional opportunities for future expansion based on
growing global markets for the services we provide," says Mr. Keck.
Since Dan Keck founded the company in 1990, MK has grown from its New
Jersey roots to encompass offices in California, Texas and
Massachusetts to service its clients' needs on projects throughout the
United States as well as abroad.
Mackenzie Keck's clientele includes premier companies such as
Abercrombie & Fitch, Urban Outfitters, M&M's World, Louis Vuitton,
Luxottica, Ferragamo, Gucci, Helmut Lang, Lancome, The Body Shop,
Theory, Under Armour, Versace and others.
Vikram Reddi, President of Mackenzie Keck Construction, comments,
"Mackenzie Keck's expertise in creating distinctive environments for
sophisticated retail clientele makes it a natural fit for the European
fashion landscape. Our firm's capabilities always have translated well
during global projects; now is the right time for a physical presence
in Europe as well as the addition of highly experienced senior
personnel in Sven and Roy."
Since completing his formal training as an engineer in Germany,
Sven Flohr has advanced to become MK's new Director of European
Operations, and brings the firm more than two decades of experience in
the building industry. Previously, he was at Seufert-Niklaus for 10
years, where he was responsible for European sales activities and
worked on the Lufthansa Aviation Center in Frankfurt, among other
major projects.
In his new position, Sven Flohr will be responsible for overseeing
European business development and operations. "I look forward to
helping the firm add new projects throughout the European Union, while
also providing local support for its existing clients," says Mr.
Flohr. Situated between Stuttgart, Frankfurt, and Heidelberg, the new
office in Germany is well-positioned to provide proximity to job sites
throughout Europe.
Roy Rayment, who will serve as the European Division's Project
Executive, has over 25 years of experience as a senior commercial
construction manager in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
He worked for Mackenzie Keck previously and is re-joining the firm. "I
am pleased to bring to Mackenzie Keck a base of top-level consultants,
subcontractors, and vendors who can help smooth the transition for
U.S. companies that are expanding in Europe," says Mr. Rayment. "We
have an intimate understanding of both European and American systems
and cultures, a distinct advantage for Mackenzie Keck clients."
Also joining the Mackenzie Keck team in Europe is Dr. jur. Daniel
Beisel, LL.M as Chief Legal Counsel. Dr. Beisel attended law school in
Germany and the U.S., and has been practicing in matters of European
law, international commerce and tax law in Europe for 12 years. He
will be providing Mackenzie Keck and their clients with guidance in
these areas.
