Lamello Group announces change in management as of 1st January 2024

On 1st January 2024, Marco Schweizer will assume the operational management of the international family business, Lamello

He succeeds Susanne Affolter, who will continue to chair the Board of Directors and help shape the strategic direction of this long-established company.

He accumulated expertise in manufacturing processes, process flows and the associated challenges within a variety of roles within the international mechanical engineering industry over 25 years. He acted as Managing Director of FrymaKoruma from 2020 to 2023.

In his new position as managing director of the Lamello Group, Marco Schweizer is certain: "It‘s always about the people. This applies both to the collegiality within the Lamello workforce as well as our valuable and first-class business and customer relationships.
