This smooth CEO transition demonstrates the long-term continuity of the company as a reliable and trusted partner for its global customers, counting on Eckart Seitter's tremendous business and leadership skills, his strategic insight and his customer-focused mentality.
Eckart Seitter has been with the company for more than 20 years. He became Managing Director Sales and Marketing in 2013, and thus has made a strong contribution to Vincotech's development and success.
