Thorsten's Profile

At 64 years old, Thorsten is a veteran in the consumer electronics market and has known many customers (retailer, discounter, Onliner, distributors) personally for many years. He enjoys traveling and loves working with customers and potential clients.

In the last 3 years Thorsten has been working for Chinas largest manufacturer of reman-inks, Speed Infotech  and developing the reman ink business in Europe with large onliners and distributors, mostly with neutral boxes or private label. An important task was working with Speeds retail chain, Recoll in the Netherlands to promote their new brand RecycleClub to large mass market retailers in the food and electronic sector.

Before that, he was responsible for the European market at Peach in Switzerland for almost 7 years, focusing on online (non-branded) and retail (branded). Peach is a famous brand for price agressive and innovative office, home & household products and supplies.

Thorsten carreer in the imaging supplies industry began at Pelikan Hardcopy. Here he was responsible for the European markets as Managing Director from 1990 to 1998. Among other things, he was an important part for the sale of Pelikans European Operations to the Americans imaging supply company Nu-Kote. After that he was responsible for the famous and worldwide known rotring brand and built up the imaging supplies range there, which was later bought by Newell Rubbermaid.

Until he rejoined the consumer electronic business with 3T Supplies/Peach, he worked for many years in the office furniture industry (Haworth) with restructuring tasks and business development.

Thorsten is pretty sure that he can help CE brothers to successfully develop the market in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with their innovative brands and products.
