Schmalzer heads sales at Novomatic

The new vice-president of global sales at Novomatic AG has been named as Thomas Schmalzer, formerly the vice-president product management.

Schmalzer will hold both posts in the organisation, said the company. He replaces Jakob Rothwangl, who had carried out the strategic realignment of the sales division. Rothwangl will be undertaking a fresh challenge in “a new strategically important project within the group.”

Schmalzer had held the position as head of global sales on an interim basis for a period during last year which will help him acclimatise immediately to the new role.

He said: “I am happy to devote myself to the expanded area of responsibility with full commitment and will take on the development of product management as well as the expansion of the sales area with equal dedication and the best benefit for our customers
worldwide. I am particularly looking forward to returning to the great team of the global sales division in order to jointly shape the future of Novomatic and its valued customers.”
