As Head of Division Greiner Assistec, Harald Rammerstorfer is in charge of strategic orientation and continuous development within the division. Openness, confidence and long-term thinking and acting are of particular importance to the father of three. “We are a sourcing partner to industry utilising plastics and offer development, production, assembling, logistics and service from a single source”, Rammerstorfer pinpoints the guiding principle of Division Greiner Assistec.
 
New distribution structure – maximum market orientation
After ten years of powerful expansion and successful positioning of the brand Greiner Packaging, the company decided to reorganise the distribution system structure in autumn 2008. Now, it is split up into three divisions. Greiner Packaging Division K creates the unique packaging proposition in terms of cups and lids for the food- and non-food industry. Greiner Packaging Division Kavo is a competent partner for the areas of plastic bottles and containers. Division Greiner Assistec submits evidence of its core competences in the areas of development, production, logistics, assembling and service as a sourcing partner for industry utilising plastics. With the new organisation of the structure, Greiner Packaging is heading even more decisively towards maximum market orientation. “All projects and activities are carried out in coordination with Greiner Packaging and the Managing Directors of the relevant countries”, underscores Harald Rammerstorfer.
