Kay Schulte is the new CSO at WEIMA – Leading Trade Shows IFAT and NPE a Resounding Success

news 14. June 2024

The first half of 2024 has been extremely positive for WEIMA. This success was mainly due to the company's presentations in Orlando (USA) and Munich. In his new role as Sales Director of the WEIMA Group, Kay Schulte represented the international sales team at the NPE and IFAT trade shows for the first time. He has been with the shredding specialist from Ilsfeld for almost 20 years and has previously managed markets in South America and Central Europe.

Destroy Responsibly™: NPE2024 plastics trade show in Orlando, Florida

At the US plastics trade show NPE , WEIMA was omnipresent as the Official Recycler of the major event. Sustainability and recycling were the big themes in Florida. As a result, all residual materials generated during product presentations by exhibitors were collected centrally. A fully functional processing line, consisting of a WEIMA primary shredder, secondary shredder, and corresponding conveyor technology, shredded dozens of tons of material into recyclable flakes during the trade show week. The filled big bags were handed over to local plastic recycling companies. The American colleagues were visibly enthusiastic about the positive response and the consistently well-visited WEIMA exhibition stands.

IFAT 2024 waste fair in Munich

The linguistically adept graduate in business administration, Kay Schulte, who speaks fluent English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese in addition to German, was able to further demonstrate his communication skills a week later in Munich. His debut as CSO at the IFAT was a success. WEIMA was once again able to position itself as a strong, well-connected partner and system supplier for the waste management industry. The revised condition monitoring tool WE.monitor, presented at IFAT, also reinforced the company’s digital ambitions and pointed to developments towards even more predictive maintenance in the service cosmos.
