Together with Romaco chief financial officer and chief operating officer Carsten Strenger, he is responsible for the running of the facility where Romaco’s Noack and Siebler brands are manufactured. Mr. Regner will also be responsible for sales, customer service, operations and engineering.

“Markus Regner is a true all-rounder with an inside knowledge of the industry”, emphasised Jörg Pieper, CEO Romaco Group. “We’re delighted that he has agreed to join the Romaco management. He has an impressive biography and is thoroughly familiar with the complex executive functions of a mid-market company – a leader who is very much in touch with the grass roots.”

Mr. Regner began his career in the solar technology sector in the mid-nineties, later switching to the pharmaceutical packaging industry. He has held various executive positions with pharmaceutical technology groups over the past 20 years, most recently as technical manager at a supplier of customized machines for filling liquids.

Mr. Regner said, “I believe Romaco has everything it takes to be very successful. Noack and Siebler have a particularly strong brand essence with a lot of potential still waiting to be tapped. My aim is to systematically strengthen this innovation capability and drive those technologies forward. It’s an exciting challenge and I’m looking forward to it immensely.”
