Gumpoldskirchen, September 30th, 2022 – As of 1 October 2022 Jakob Rothwangl will hand over the management of Global Sales to Thomas Schmalzer. Jakob Rothwangl started the strategic realignment of the Global Sales division in February 2021 and transformed the sales organization and business model to be fit for a successful future.
