Kiefel Packaging, the Upper Austrian subsidiary of the Freilassing-based mechanical engineering company Kiefel, has been put under a dual management system since 1 September 2022.
Andreas Staudinger took on the duties of the previous managing director Robin Roth in spring and now heads the location as chief sales officer (CSO) jointly with Christian Töscher as chief operations officer (COO).
The company would like to continue the positive business development of the site, especially regarding tools and automation solutions.
“Kiefel Packaging in Micheldorf develops highly innovative tool and automation solutions for our machines for processing plastics and natural fibers,” says Thomas Halletz, CEO of the company. “With the new dual leadership on site, we can further strengthen the location and jointly accelerate the progress of advance technological development projects.”
