Personnel
viastore SYSTEMS: Bernd Hotze is the new Sales Manager
Bernd Hotze has been Head of Sales at intralogistics specialist viastore SYSTEMS, based in Stuttgart, since April 1, 2023.
What makes him even more suited to his new responsibilities is his more than 30 years of experience in international business. As an independent consultant, the industrial engineer has accompanied medium-sized companies in the capital goods industry on their path to internationalization in recent years.
Previously, the 58-year-old was responsible for sales, marketing and services at all DURAG companies. Among other things, he realigned the global sales organization and promoted the digitalization of sales processes. Hotze has also previously proven himself in management positions at SICK AG, where he defined and further developed central objectives, projects and structures for the areas of marketing and sales as a member of the Competence Board.
"We warmly welcome Bernd Hotze to our team and are certain that he will successfully drive forward even the most complex issues with his comprehensive know-how and his clear and precise manner," explains Thomas Hibinger, COO of viastore SYSTEMS.
Bernd Hotze is taking over responsibility from Swen Mantel, who held this position on an interim basis in addition to his position as Sales Manager Retrofit. Mantel will now once again focus 100% on the area of warehouse modernization and optimization.
