A special focus here is on the development of sustainable materials and production processes.”
Michael Höllermann, CHRO of the Multi Tracks segment:
“Carbon Components stands for highly innovative products. Under the new management of Action Composites, good prospects will open up for the employees. This was a decisive point for us in the sales negotiations.”
