As of 14 April, Tom Nelson has taken on the role of President of Heiber + Schröder USA.

“We are delighted to welcome Tom to our team,” explains Michaelis. “We had a really productive onboarding, when we ran through the portfolio of our solutions and gave Tom the opportunity to meet the team based at our recently opened U.S. facility. We are looking forward to benefitting from Tom’s experience, as we continue to grow our presence in the North American market.”
“I am excited to join Heiber + Schröder USA at a time that sees the company expand its presence in the North American folding carton and corrugated industries,” says Nelson. “It is a great opportunity for me to bring skillsets from other industries to the business and I look forward to getting to know our customers throughout the U.S. and Canada over the coming months.”
