Pöschl Tobacco Group said Katharina Pöschl replaced her father, Ernst Pöschl, in February as one of two managing directors at the leading global snuff company.

Ernst Pöschl had led the company since 1980. Katharina Pöschl joins Patrick Engels as co-director, the company said on its website. Both Pöschl and Engels represent the fourth generation of their families to head the operation.
Pöschl Tobacco revenues last year were EUR 462 million (USD 634 million). In addition to snuff, where the company says its global market share is about 50 per cent, Pöschl produces pipe and rolling tobaccos.
