The outgoing technical director Martin Stadler joined the then fledgling company in the early 2000s as its 21st employee. Since then, ViscoTec has developed into a global specialist in dosing technology. Today, the company employs more than 350 people and its turnover has increased more than tenfold during this period.
“Such development is the result of people with courage, vision, and enthusiasm for their work,” Martin Stadler reflects. He has had a decisive influence on the technical orientation of ViscoTec – from the continuous expansion of the product portfolio and the development of innovative degassing systems to the ongoing optimization of complex dispensing processes. “I am grateful to have witnessed and helped shape this development. The credit goes to everyone who contributed to it,” Stadler continues.
Recognition for technical expertise and leadership style
During the internal farewell ceremony, Commercial Director Franz Kamhuber paid special tribute to the exceptional technical expertise and profound understanding of process engineering demonstrated by his long-standing colleague Martin Stadler. For many years, the technical managing director was a central point of contact for technical questions – from product development and the design of complete plants to the analysis of running systems.
His clear, direct communication and consistent cost awareness also had a lasting impact on the company. One of his most important guiding principles was to always make decisions with a view to achieving a balanced cost-benefit ratio.
Kamhuber also emphasized his colleague's down-to-earth attitude: despite strong growth and international success, Martin Stadler has always remained approachable and has placed great value on open doors, professional exchange, and collaborative work.
Farewell to ViscoTec – focus on private projects
Martin Stadler is starting a new chapter in his life with his departure from the company. In the future, he will devote himself to private projects that he has had little time for in recent years, while also focusing more on, above all, his family and personal interests.
Clear prospects for the future
By handing over overall responsibility to the previous commercial managing director, Franz Kamhuber, ViscoTec is deliberately focusing on continuity and the consistent continuation of its strategic orientation. Kamhuber expressed his gratitude for the trusting and successful cooperation and emphasized how much the company had benefited from his colleague's technical expertise and leadership.
At the same time, ViscoTec is strengthening its management structure: with the departure of the technical managing director, the two division managers Josef Donislreiter and Florian Wagner have been granted individual power of attorney. Together with the commercial managing director, they will form the management board in the future and steer the fortunes of the company in close coordination. ViscoTec is thus focusing on a clear distribution of tasks, short decision-making paths, and close integration of commercial and operational responsibilities.
