Nagasawa joined KYB in 2005, in the Tokyo based aftermarket business department. He transferred to Europe in 2007, when he was responsible for export sales in Balkan and CIS areas.

Speaking about his new role at KYB Europe, Nagasawa commented \u201cit is important to remember that KYB Europe not only sells our brand products to the aftermarket, but also support, logistic and sales services. Therefore we must create additional value for our products to make a difference for our customers. To succeed, we must be open minded and proactive. We will continue our principle to be quick and aggressive\u201d.<\/p>\n
