Erik Edelmann is the new CSO (Chief Sales Officer) at the Lengerich-based film and packaging specialist Bischof + Klein.
Until the end of last year, the 43-year-old engineering graduate was Head of Sales South East Asia for adhesives in the packaging and consumer goods industry at Henkel. He is now moving from Bangkok to Lengerich in Westphalia to join one of the leading European full-service provider for flexible packaging as well as technical films made of plastic and plastic composites.
The development of new strategic markets is just as much on his agenda as the Forced development of sustainable product protection.
„I am excited by the task of opening up completely new possibilities for plastic packaging and films through our innovations in this successful family business. Sustainability is and remains the future of the packaging industry.“ Erik Edelmann, CSO Bischof + Klein
The new CSO completes the Executive Board with CFO Karsten Pax, COO Manfred Albrecht and CEO Dr Tobias Lührig. The latter is now focusing more on strategy and digitalisation.
