The CEOs of the international RAMPF Group, Matthias and Michael Rampf, and company founder Rudolf Rampf thank Bernd Faller and Klaus Schamel for their outstanding achievements for the RAMPF Group:

With their strategic vision, they have significantly shaped their respective companies and set them up for a promising future. RAMPF Production Systems has long been more than a supplier of dispensing technology, but a holistic systems manufacturer for customer-specific solutions. RAMPF Polymer Solutions has grown very strongly in recent years and, as part of a global strategy, will expand into new markets together with the international RAMPF companies. The cooperation with Bernd Faller and Klaus Schamel was not only very successful and trusting – it was also very enjoyable. With Stefan Huber and Peter Barwitzki, the respective leadership teams will be staffed with proven experts and managers who will set new accents and continue the long-standing success together with the current CEOs, Hartmut Storz and Christian Weber.
