GERMANY: Compressor manufacturer Bock GmbH has appointed Stephan Schumann as managing director sales and marketing.

Schumann forms a new dual leadership of the Frickenhausen-based company with existing CEO Dr Marcus Albrecht. With Schumann in charge of the sales and marketing function, Albrecht assumes responsibility for finance, supply chain, human resources and R&D.
