Rudiger Bargholz Don Limon

German fruit importer-distributor Pilz Schindler has announced this week that its Don Limón lime brand has appointed Rüdiger Bargholz as its new sales director.

Mr Bargholz is a highly experienced former Cobana Fruchtring executive, a role he held before taking up his new position of sales director leading the Don Limón team on 5 January 2011.

'We are more than happy to have Rüdiger in our team to enlarge our sales power,' said Andreas Schindler, chief executive officer of the Don Limón company. 'He will help us develop the tremendous potential of Don Limón with its products from Latin America and South Africa.'

Mr Bargholz, who will report directly to Mr Schindler in his new position, said that he was delighted to be joining the group because of its 'huge potential', professionalism and rapid growth.

'The modern approach, with its focus on quality management in the countries of sourcing, branding and marketing services are the best requirements for successful cooperation with customers here in Europe,' he noted.
