Kleinostheim – 23 November 2016. In order to serve the needs of customers and the market even better in the future, UNION TANK Eckstein GmbH & Co. KG (UTA) makes improvements to the coordination and marketing of its products: On 1 November 2016 Marcel van Empel assumed the newly created position of Head of Strategy and Product Management.

(firmenpresse) - Marcel van Empel has almost 25 years of professional experience and huge international business development expertise, making him the ideal head of the newly created Strategy and Product Management department.
