Bach is very familiar with the manufacturer of warm-edge spacers. He helped set up the new sites in England and France and was instrumental in restructuring the production network in 2021. "Due to the great success of the company, we have been able to almost double production capacities through investments and efficiency increases since I joined the company. The automation and digitalisation of production processes as well as the introduction of innovative logistics concepts played a very important role in this" reports the new CEO.

The engineer looks to the future with confidence: "Our innovation roadmap promises many product innovations, as well as new types of services, such as intelligent load carriers or digital interfaces, which will further expand our position as a globally active, reliable partner. I am convinced that we will continue the success story of Swisspacer together with our efficient team, the usual Swiss quality standards and the proximity to our customers".
