Reinforcement in distribution for Witex

The north American market will in future be serviced directly by Witex Flooring Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German Witex Holding company. Roland Elbracht has been enlisted as an experienced authority on the laminate industry and the north American flooring market. With effect from 1 July 2005, as president of the newly established Witex Flooring Inc., which has its headquarters in Kennesaw, Georgia, he will above all be intensifying contacts to OEM customers, in addition to the company's retailer business. Elbracht was involved in setting up the original Witex Inc. in the USA as long ago as 1994. In recent years he has worked in a similar function at Claasen, USA and Robina, USA.
