Obst Partner Steiermark (Opst), the Austrian apple producer organisation, has announced on its Facebook news feed that it has appointed David Eibel as its new managing director.
From today (1 April), the 40 year-old Styria native will head up the group and its approximately 600 apple growers, seven marketing companies and around 100,000 tonnes of apples.
'We will on one hand have a clear focus on the core tasks of our company and on the other hand cover completely new ground,' Eibel said in a statement. 'Our strategy is to gain market share, strengthen the entire Opst group and partner with the trade.'
