Joachim Schein continues to support Schottel with his expertise
At the same time, Roland Schwandt expressed his sincere gratitude to Joachim Schein for his exceptional achievements and visionary leadership. “Over the course of more than 30 years with the company, Joachim Schein has brought energy, expertise and reliability to every position – whether in Germany, the USA or Singapore. From his beginnings at Schottel Far East as Service Manager and from 2012 as Managing Director, he has been instrumental in developing the company into a recognized leader in the regional maritime industry.”
