Klafs is under new leadership, as after 30 years as managing director, Stefan Schöllhammer retired on Sept. 30. Phillip Rock and Gernot Mang will manage the company going forward.

“Klafs is a brand that is successful, because it has always reinvented itself and adapts with the times,” said Stefan Schöllhammer. “I am proud that I have been able to be responsible for the design and continuous development for such a long period of time.”

Rock, who has thus far been responsible for the technical side in the company as managing director, will also take over part of his work in the areas of finance and HR. Mang was brought on board as managing director for the areas of marketing, sales and design.

Mang has international experience and has already been able to demonstrate his abilities in various companies. His professional roots lie in marketing and sales, and he also offers the premium product experience that Klafs requires.

Schöllhammer will remain involved with the company as an advisory board member and shareholder. He is very optimistic that the Klafs Group, together with the majority shareholder Egeria, has great prospects and will further expand its outstanding position.

“Employees of the Klafs group have always made the difference and are a great strength for us,” he said. “My move to the Klafs advisory board is therefore done with a very good feeling and with great confidence in the future of our company.”

Schöllhammer congratulates Rock and Mang on their expanded and new leadership responsibilities, respectively, and also looks forward to seeing how they will lead Klafs together in the coming years.

“Phillip Rock has gained experience in all business areas as my long-standing fellow managing director while also demonstrating his personal, professional and, above all, strategic qualities,” said Schöllhammer. “Mang complements him here with his broad, international range of experience. A focus on the most important trends within the wellness market and on what our customers expect from us here will be their main task. I am certain that they will be very successful in this.”
