Hollman named Ishida Germany GM

Ishida Europe has strengthened its European expansion strategy with the appointment of Andreas Hollman as general manager of the company’s German subsidiary, Ishida GmbH.

Mr Hollmann (45) brings wide experience of the German weighing and packaging industry and has held top management positions in the sector for several years, with active involvement in the packaging industry since 2003. He succeeds Peter Hubert, who has left Ishida with mutual agreement due to personal reasons.

His appointment also underlines Ishida Europe’s commitment to the important German food and packaging market.

Mr Hollman, an engineering graduate, said he is looking forward to his challenging new role. “Ishida stands for tradition, a strong product portfolio and a strong brand,” he said. “We will continue to expand our market position in the areas of multihead weighing, checkweighing and X-ray inspection as well as offering our customers bespoke solutions under one roof.” 

Ishida GmbH is a subsidiary of Ishida Europe, with responsibility for Germany and Austria. Ishida Europe, based in Birmingham, UK, is the company’s headquarters for the EMEA region.
