Change of management at SACMI Packaging & Chocolate

With Thomas Hähn, SACMI Pack­ag­ing & Choco­late Swiss SA has appoint­ed a new sales man­ag­er for process and mold­ing equip­ment in Ger­many, Aus­tria and Switzer­land. Since July 1, 2021, the mechan­i­cal engi­neer has been respon­si­ble for sales of choco­late pro­duc­tion and mold­ing equip­ment under the Car­le & Mon­ta­nari brand.

Thomas Hähn (45) has decades of inter­na­tion­al expe­ri­ence in the choco­late indus­try. The Rhinelander was employed for 15 years by the Swiss Buh­ler Group, first as a design and project engi­neer at Buh­ler Bindler, then since 2008 as an area sales man­ag­er with respon­si­bil­i­ty for sev­er­al Euro­pean, Asian, and North Amer­i­can countries.

Most recent­ly, he served as Sales Account Man­ag­er Choco­late and Cocoa for the U.S. mar­ket at Büh­ler Inc. in Min­neapo­lis. He starts his new mis­sion at SACMI Pack­ag­ing & Choco­late not only with great tech­ni­cal and mar­ket-spe­cif­ic know-how, but also with a good dose of enthusiasm.

“With the excel­lent prod­ucts of the tra­di­tion­al Car­le & Mon­ta­nari brand, we want to be the pre­ferred part­ner of our cus­tomers in the DACH region in five years’ time. The con­fec­tionery indus­try needs to auto­mate and many com­pa­nies are ready to invest.”
