Franz Kamhuber, Senftl's successor as managing director in the commercial area, and Martin Stadler, managing director for technology, will together lead the company going forward.
ViscoTec recently announced that Georg Senftl, long-standing managing director of the company, is retiring at the end of 2021. In July 2021, Franz Kamhuber joined ViscoTec top management and succeeded Senftl as managing director in the commercial area. Both Senftl and Kamhuber, along with managing director for technology Martin Stadler, have been steering the company fortunes together for the last six months.
Born in Upper Bavaria, Senftl graduated from high school in Mühldorf, Germany, and then studied electrical engineering with a focus on automation technology at the Technical University of Munich. His first professional steps took him to Munich-based companies active in the electronics and automotive sectors. However, his strong roots in his homeland prompted him to look for a job in the region. He found it in 1994 at Resch Maschinenbau in Töging as a sales engineer for progressive cavity pumps.
