Anuga FoodTec has appointed Roland Thiemann as its new director. He succeeds Matthias Schlüter, who leaves the company at the end of 2024 after 24 years with Koelnmesse, including 14 of them as director of Anuga FoodTec.

With his combination of technological know-how and strategic branding, he will guide Anuga FoodTec in an innovative and forward-thinking direction.
