"His many years of experience and broad knowledge of our industry will undoubtedly make a valuable contribution to our continued success. With his dual role as both Managing Director of Distec and COO of our parent company, FORTEC Elektronik AG, he will help to implement our common strategy and vision and further drive the growth of our company. We wish Mr. Staller all the best for his future and thank him sincerely for his many years of commitment.”

With innovative products, such as the ‘unbreakable’ BLO-Line and new ways in product marketing (Distec Short Films), we are optimistic about the year 2023. The positive, collegial, and pragmatic company culture at Fortec AG and all affiliated companies inspires me. Another highlight for me is the close collaboration with my colleague Matthias Keller, with whom I can finally work personally after years in the industry.”
