MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany — March 8, 2019 — Stefan Flöth has been assigned as a further managing director of A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG in Mönchengladbach, Germany, as of January 1, 2019.
He has rejoined Monforts in his new role from the Trützschler Group, also headquartered in Mönchengladbach, where he was the managing director of Trützschler Nonwovens from 2009 onwards.
Having spent his working life in the textile machinery industry, Flöth started his career with Schlafhorst.
Between 1996 and 2009, Flöth was a key part of the Monforts team in various roles related to research and development, mechanical design and management of the company’s joint ventures.

“Both exhibitions serve as excellent platforms for networking and meetings with key players,” Flöth said. “What I find is, is that keeping good relationships with customers is essential, because what they buy from us is an investment in their future and they need to trust in our continued support. The upcoming shows will provide a great opportunity to meet many customers quickly.”
