Mr Langer will be responsible for the entire sales process in order to achieve sales and growth targets. He will be responsible for managing and developing the sales team, and maintaining important customer relationships. In addition, he will be reporting directly to Managing Director Markus Bögner, ensuring that the company’s management team is in an excellent position to face any future challenges.

"I am very much looking forward to the new challenges and am determined to further consolidate the position of the Falken brand on the market together with our dedicated sales team and our valued customers. Our goal is to strengthen the partnership with our customers and achieve lasting success together as a team," said Thomas Langer about his new position.
