Novomatic Group Restructures its Sales and Production Departments

Austrian gaming giant Novomatic Group is continuing the transformation begun last year by restructuring its Sales and Production Departments.

All sales units are now bundled under Jakob Rothwangl’s management and the entire Production Department is now centrally managed by Walter Eschbacher. The focus is on increasing efficiency and amplifying synergy potential.

The Global Sales Department will focus on new customer acquisition and increasing international networking activities, while also improving upon the already excellent customer care for existing internal and external customers.

The Production and Logistics Department will consolidate the Production, Purchasing, Logistics and Custom Manufacture Departments for the electronics, joinery, printing and plastics manufacturing segments, allowing for faster and more efficient processes.

“We are using this pandemic to improve internal processes, and are restructuring the Production and Sales Departments as part of the transformation process we began last year. We are pleased to have Jakob Rothwangl and Walter Eschbacher, both experienced, long-term managers at Novomatic, take over leadership in these important segments, and are certain their work will guarantee continuity and efficiency,” Ryszard Presch, Executive Board Member of Novomatic, said.

“I would like to say thank you for this wonderful new challenge and for the trust placed in me as I accept this opportunity to reorganize and optimize Group Sales. The top priority is to maximize customer satisfaction by developing and selling high-quality products and services perfectly matched to the needs of our customers and their markets,” Jakob Rothwangl, VP of Global Sales at Novomatic AG, said.

“The new Production & Logistics Department consolidates closely connected segments into a single department in order to react even more quickly to changing market requirements. My focus will be on establishing new production processes and making use of synergy potentials in order to shorten delivery times and therefore guarantee that the company and its Austrian production locations remain competitive,” Walter Eschbacher, Director of Production and Logistics at Novomatic AG, said.
