German attractions manufacturer MACK Rides informed us of some important changes of organization and responsabilities inside the company.
After 35 years of services, Kurt Mack-Even retired from his positions of managing director (that he co-owned with Christian von Elverfeldt) and head of the sales department. “Since the seventies Kurt was always MACK Rides‘ face to the customer. His efforts and achievements were always highly appreciated by our shareholders, his colleagues and certainly our customers, partners and friends ” stated the company in a release.
In the future, Kurt Mack-Even will still remain close to the manufacturer by being a consultant for the sales department. The company said "Well known in the industry he has been travelling the whole world to serve our customers with perfect consultation. But we are more than glad that we can count on his advice even in his post “retirement career”!"
MACK rides also introduces Thorsten Koebele as the new responsible for Sales and Marketing. He has 13 years of experience in the engineering offices as a design engineer and project manager. Lastly he led the development department, already supporting sales over years.
