Andreas Geiger is departing Hoffmann Neopac Group after two years leading the group’s tins business.

André Seiler has taken over the tin division’s management, and he will commute between the two main production sites in Switzerland and The Netherlands. Seiler is a longtime metal processing industry professional, including tenure as managing director for Stebler Blech AG and Stebler Packaging AG in Nunningen, Switzerland. He is the current president of the Swiss Metal Association (SVM).

In addition, packaging industry expert Karin Paldanius will join Hoffmann on 1 February 1 2022 as director sales, TINS. Paldanius comes to Hoffmann with far-ranging experience in both the packaging and production sectors.

Sales director Tomas Pivko has decided to reduce his workload. He steps back from the executive board and serves as a key account liaison.

“We are excited to welcome new team members and like to commend both Andreas Geiger and Tomas Pivko for the exemplary work they’ve done to grow and transform our packaging business over the past decade. For the future, we continue investing heavily in decarbonizing our production sites and products, thereby reducing our overall impact in the steel packaging supply chain,” said Mark Aegler, CEO of Hoffmann Neopac.
