In 2003 Bob Gaerttner joined the VZM Management team and headed the US office. After 19 years Bob has decided to retire as a VZM partner.

During those years Bob has been active supporting customers with Business Development related projects. He served mostly North American aviation companies but has also been involved in supporting the team in Europe. Furthermore, Bob was also an important contributor the annual Market Outlook.

We thank Bob for his much-appreciated cooperation and friendship, as well as the important role he played in the difficult period after Hans Minnee passed away and developing VZM into the company it is today.

With the retirement of Bob, VZM has decided to close the US office, future projects will be managed from the Amsterdam office.
