Building materials executive takes up CEO role at Modulaire

Remco Teulings has taken up his new post as group CEO of portable accommodation and storage business Modulaire Group following the announcement of his appointment last month.

Tuelings joins private equity-owned Modulaire after a 30-year career in business, most recently as CEO of Building Materials Europe (BME), a €5 billion business. BME was formerly part of CRH.

An interim leadership structure had been in place since August last year, with company chairman Richard Ingram overseeing the business alongside Modulaire’s executive committee.

Teulings said he was delighted to be joining the group; “Modulaire has leading market positions, strong brands and a compelling customer proposition across Europe and Asia Pacific.

“I look forward to working with colleagues across the group to build on these strengths, continue to enhance the service we provide to our customers and deliver the next phase of the group’s development.”

‘Impressive track record’

Richard Ingram said; “We are delighted to welcome Remco to Modulaire. He is a highly experienced international business leader with an impressive track record of leading large, complex and decentralised organisations, delivering operational improvement and driving sustainable growth.

“His extensive experience across building products and services, together with his strong commercial and operational focus, makes him exceptionally well suited to lead Modulaire through its next phase of development.”

Modulaire has operations in 23 countries, with over 330,000 modular space and portable storage units, and 5,000 remote accommodation rooms. It operates as Algeco, its largest brand, across much of Europe and the UK.

Other brands include Advanté in the UK, Altempo in France, Ausco and NET Modular in Australia, and Portacom in New Zealand.
