Movers and Shakers The right people in the right roles can make all the difference
Johannes Schubert takes over from Martin Sauter as Head of Sales
There has been an organisational change at
the Crailsheim-based
packaging
machine manufacturer Schubert. At the end of February, Johannes Schubert took over the role of Head of Sales at Gerhard Schubert GmbH from Martin Sauter, who is relinquishing the position for health reasons. Johannes Schubert, who is currently Managing Director of Schubert Packaging Systems, will take on a dual role with
immediate effect. For
the Schubert
family business,
employees are a top priority. They are not only decisive for the innovation leader’s long-term success, but they also shape the company as a whole. Respectful interaction, honesty and team spirit are important values that not only exist on paper, but that are lived every day. Marcel Kiessling, Managing Director of Gerhard Schubert GmbH, explains:
“It is key to our philosophy and identity that we not only expect loyalty from our employees, but that we ourselves find unbureaucratic solutions when employees want or need to change positions. We are delighted that Johannes Schubert is taking over as Head of Sales at Gerhard Schubert and that Martin Sauter, who is relinquishing this position for health reasons, will remain with the company.”
