DEURNE, HOLLAND -- Jochen Rieger has been named MD of Muller Zell, a division of Vescom Group,  effective November  1,2013 in the wake of the departure of Andreas Heydasch, the previous MD.

Rieger was formerly the MD of Sales and Marketing of Dura Germany (flooring).

“With Jochen Rieger on board, we want to increase turnover on the market of high-end sheers and curtains for the contract market by expanding the international partnerships,” says Frank van Werkum who rejoined Vescom Group about one year ago as a Director.

In this new position for Vescom, Van Werkum reports to Vescom Group owner Philippe van Esch. Previously, Heydasch had reported to van Esch directly.

Van Werkum is now responsible for the co-ordination between Vescom’s non-branded textile weaving mills; Schellens,  Raxon and Muller Zell.
