When Benjamin Bruder joined OCTANORM two years ago in 2019, no one knew what the following years would hold for the exhibition industry. In the beginning, Benjamin Bruder worked his way through all departments of our company and then focused on sales, marketing and our OSPI network. Thanks to his studies in International Business Management and his subsequent professional experience, he quickly gained a foothold and continued to expand his skills and areas of responsibility. With the successful appearance at EuroShop 2020 at the latest, he was ready to start full speed together with the company. As we all know, this plan was put on hold by the pandemic. But Benjamin‘s optimism persisted through all that time:
„The solidarity and commitment of our team during these past months, the trusting cooperation with both our longtime and our new business partners and the strong believe that there is a successful future for OCTANORM have encouraged me in my willingness and decision to take on even more responsibility.“
We are therefore more than pleased that Benjamin Bruder will be joining his father Hans Bruder in the management of the company as of 1st July 2021. He succeeds Jörg Staeger, who is retiring from management but will continue to support the company as a representative of the main shareholder in a consultative function.
„My thanks go to my father, to Jörg Staeger, and to the entire staff for all the trust and support I have received over the past two years. With this amazing team behind me, I am very much looking forward to this new challenge and working together with you as a strong partner of our company.“
In the future, our Cleanroom and Project fields are to be specifically promoted and put on a par with exhibition sector. Time was already used for this during the pandemic and new business areas were established and expanded.
To put it in the words of Benjamin Bruder:
„The future is now, so let‘s get started!“
