Markus Wolfram had started his professional career working for WITTMANN as a technician, and eventually had assumed the posi- tion of International Sales Manager for material handling systems. After having taken some insights into an- other branch of industry – the hot dip galvanizing sector – Markus has now returned to what interests him most: the plastics processing indus- try in its broadest sense – and hence his return to WITTMANN. In total, Markus has been with WITTMANN for 18 years. He will operate from the Vienna group headquarters and will report directly to the company management board. Markus Wolfram states: “My new role within the company as Head of Sales allows me to get in touch with the most interesting innovations and products. In fact, that is always what I am on the look out for – and the ex- act same thing applies to WITTMANN and its customers. The comprehen- sive product range of WITTMANN Technology covers robots, advanced automation solutions, and auxilia- ries such as temperature controllers, material dryers, blenders, up to com- plete centralized material handling systems.” Michael Wittmann, WITTMANN Technology President, expressed his great delight to have Markus Wol- fram back on board as the new Head of Sales. He says: “Visit us at the K show in Düsseldorf, starting at Octo- ber 19th. Meet your plastics process- ing equipment providers – and if you don’t know him already, get to know Markus Wolfram.” WITTMANN Group www.wittmann-group.com Popular models of Flexicon’s BULK- OUT® Bulk Bag Dischargers and BLOCK- BUSTER® Bulk Bag Conditioners have been added to an expanded QUICK- SHIP programme that offers bulk han- dling equipment on a rush basis from stock throughout Europe.
