With von Rechteren, Ulrich Medical plans to continue its long-term and sustainable corporate success. “As we have grown, our management tasks have also increased. We have therefore decided to strengthen our team in this area with Friedrich von Rechteren,” says Ulrich. Last year, the company achieved a global turnover of 150 million euros. This corresponds to an increase of 12 percent compared to the previous year. Collaborations with global partners such as GE Healthcare and Bracco Imaging contribute to the company's international success. “With Friedrich von Rechteren's experience and new stimulus, we will continue to expand our market position and successfully develop Ulrich Medical,” says Kiesel with confidence.
Von Rechteren has many years of experience in the chemical and packaging industry and worked most recently as Chief Commercial Officer at XSYS Global, a leading provider of integrated solutions for packaging printing. “I sincerely appreciate the trust placed in me and am excited to approach my new role and responsibilities with great pleasure and commitment,” emphasizes von Rechteren.
