Succeeding Horst-Werner Maier-Hunke, who is retiring from the company after 40 years, Rolf Schifferens has begun gradually taking over the management of DURABLE Hunke & Jochheim GbH & Co. KG.
Rolf was a member of the board of directors of Faber-Castell AG until the end of 2019 and for many years Managing Director of A. W. Faber-Castell Vertrieb GmbH. He is now taking over the areas of responsibility for sales, marketing, production, development and logistics.
Rolf said, "DURABLE, like the entire industry, is undergoing a process of strategic change. I am very much looking forward to the challenge of accompanying the company in this process and leading it successfully into the future."
Horst-Werner added, "I really respect Rolf Schifferens for his extensive knowledge of the demands of the market. The success in his last professional role underlines this. I am therefore convinced that we have found a very experienced and competent manager in him."
