Heinzelsales (Wilfried Heinzel AG) strengthens its sales offices in Wiesbaden (Germany) and Paris (France) in order to ensure sales of publication paper of Laakirchen Papier as well as optimal customer service in Germany, France, and the Benelux countries in the long-term.

The cooperation for sales of products from SCA Ortviken and Laakirchen Papier ends in 2021.
As of 1st April 2021, Mr. Rainer Swidersky, long-term Sales Director of SCA Graphic Paper (Deutschland) GmbH will complement the heinzelsales team in Wiesbaden (Germany) with his experience and market knowledge. He will be responsible for sales in Germany, Belgium (Flemish Region), Netherlands and Luxembourg.
