Klafs under new leadership

After 30 years as managing director of Klafs, Stefan Schöllhammer retired on September 30. Phillip Rock, who has thus far been responsible for the technical side in the company as managing director, will also take over part of his work in the areas of finance and HR. A new managing director, Gernot Mang, was brought on board for the areas of marketing, sales and design. Gernot Mang has international experience and has already been able to demonstrate his abilities in various companies. His professional roots lie in marketing and sales, and he also offers the premium product experience that Klafs requires.

Stefan Schöllhammer will remain involved with the company as an advisory board member and shareholder. He is very optimistic that the Klafs Group, together with the majority shareholder Egeria, has great prospects and will further expand its outstanding position: “Employees of the Klafs group have always made the difference and are a great strength for us. My move to the Klafs advisory board is therefore done with a very good feeling and with great confidence in the future of our company”.

Stefan Schöllhammer congratulates Phillip Rock and Gernot Mang on their expanded and new responsibilities, respectively, and also looks forward to seeing how they will lead Klafs together in the coming years: “Phillip Rock has gained experience in all business areas as my long-standing fellow managing director while also demonstrating his personal, professional and, above all, strategic qualities. Gernot Mang complements him here with his broad, international range of experience. A focus on the most important trends within the wellness market and on what our customers expect from us here will be their main task. I am certain that they will be very successful in this“.
