Supported by congatec’s experienced sales team, this year we will be consolidating and expanding our market position.”

“I am delighted that Christian is prepared to take on responsibility for sales in the EMEA sector, on top of his marketing duties. Few people know the company and the market as thoroughly as Christian, and I am certain that he will fulfil his new task just as successfully as he mastered the marketing challenges”, said Gerhard Edi, CEO of congatec AG.
