New Managing Director at H2O China
Marcel Pfeifer takes over the role as managing director at H2O China. His predecessor Roland Lochner passed away in the summer after a serious illness, much to the regret of the company.
The new Managing Director Marcel Pfeifer is not a new face at H2O. He has been employed at the company since 1 March 2014, initially for five years at the headquarters in Germany, before moving to the Chinese branch in Kunshan in 2019 to build up the Asian service network. „For me, China was new territory at the time, but I was very impressed by the flexibility of the people. No matter what needs to be done or what goes wrong, it always works out somehow in the end.“ After more than two years in China, Pfeifer has settled in well and learned to appreciate the diversity of the country.
Pfeifer plans to further improve team performance, drive market development in China and expand production so that a higher proportion of deliveries can be manufactured directly on site. „I am looking forward to the new tasks – and to my great team, which I already know well.“
The subsidiary „H2O Kunshan Water Treatment“ in China started in June 2015 with only two employees. Today, the team has grown to eleven professionals and many more are to come. Together, they look after around 100 customer installations of all machine sizes.
