Toge­ther we will play an even more important role in the inter­na­tio­nal mar­kets for skin­ning/der­in­ding, por­tion con­trol sli­cing and ice making solu­ti­ons.“, says Rein­hard Schill. Joa­chim Schill adds: “For me and my bro­ther, the sale of the com­pany to Marel is an opti­mal suc­ces­sion solu­tion also for our qua­li­fied emp­loyees at the Kehl-Gold­scheuer loca­tion. As part of the glo­bal Marel-Group, we have ideal con­di­ti­ons to mas­ter the glo­bal chal­len­ges and eco­no­mic con­di­ti­ons in our tar­get mar­kets and to offer our emp­loyees a sta­ble future.“, adds Joa­chim Schill.
