Dirk Corsten replaced Dick van Bruggen as managing director of the Bobst facility in Meerbusch, Germany, a responsibility he will exercise in addition to his duties as country sales manager, the company said.

Van Bruggen will concentrate on his duties as managing director, Bobst Benelux, and will be responsible for new machine sales in Germany and the Benelux, the company said.
“Germany and the Benelux countries are markets that impose particularly high demands”, van Bruggen said. “It was with this in mind that I proposed the new management structure with matching responsibilities in sales and service.”
Swiss-based Bobst is a world leader in packaging machinery for folding carton, corrugated board and flexible materials. It operates 11 production facilities in eight countries.
