Mr. Jochen Schmidt, who has been with Karl Mayer for almost 10 years,
has been appointed new Business Manager of Karl Mayer Malimo
Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH with effect from April 1.
Mr. Jochen Schmidt has his roots in the technical sector. His training
as an industrial mechanic was followed by the study of precision
engineering in Frankfurt. After working in development at Heraeus in
Hanau he came to Karl Mayer in 2002 and found his niche there.
Mr. Schmidt had his first post in the ‘Central Construction’ division,
where he was responsible for looking after basic machine components as
head of department. At the end of 2005 he took over the ‘International
Business Development’ sector in order to co-ordinate and lead machine
projects across the groups. From 2008 he added the technical
leadership of Karl Mayer (China) to this position.
Now Mr. Jochen Schmidt is looking forward to further challenges in
Chemnitz. In his third position in the group of companies, he would
like to develop the high-value technological products in the
future-oriented business sector further in a creative manner and to
continue developing the chosen path as the system supplier with an eye
on customers.
In addition, the integration of the technical textiles business
sector, including the production of composites machines and
weft-insertion warp knitting machines more firmly into the Karl Mayer
Group is a task to which Mr. Jochen Schmidt brings a great deal of
experience. Because of his wide-ranging activities he has a knowledge
of the specifics and the structures, and also knows many colleagues at
Karl Mayer locations worldwide.
Now, in order to settle down in Chemnitz, he will set up a second
domicile in the Saxon industrial city. Working on site, personal
contacts, and settling down in the region will be important to the
native of Baden-Württemberg.
