New directors at Schottel Nederland

Sebastian Sachs, who joined Schottel GmbH in 2016, takes over as MD from René Lange, who is moving on for personal reasons. Sachs has held various management positions, the company says.

He will be supported by new sales director Ewoud Hooymans, who was sales manager at the company for many years, Schottel says.

Hooymans is now responsible for the entire new sales and after service sales in the BeNeLux region as well as for new sales in the UK.

Founded in 1921, Schottel has been developing and manufacturing azimuth propulsion and complete propulsion systems with power ratings of up to 30MW for vessels of all sizes and types for more than 70 years.
