Cedrik Zapfe (CTO) and Ralf Maus (COO). “This means that we have a very effective team ready to drive our dynamic corporate development further forward.”
As COO, Maus will mainly be responsible for the Schletter Group’s production sites, further expansion and diversification of the supply chain and further optimization of the company’s global logistics.
