Gottfried Reiter is now responsible for sales, marketing and services.

Metz Aerials GmbH & Co. KG represents an aerials competence center within the ROSENBAUER Group and in Michael Kristeller, the Karlsruhe location can welcome to its dual management a new man, who has long and close associations with the ROSENBAUER Group and thus brings valuable experience to the business.

Michael's career path was laid down at Daimler, where he worked for seven years in the field of superstructure production and sales consulting. This post was followed by three years in the management of the Daimler/EvoBus Minibuscenter, as well responsibility for the launch of the "Sprinter" in Mexico. Finally, Michael served as the head of the Daimler subsidiary, Westfalia Van Conversion.
