FORAS GmbH is restructuring its management team. In addition to Managing Director Ralf-Peter Matthies, Bastian Meyer and René Zuidema will join the team. Both have been part of FORAS GmbH and previously Gartenland GmbH for many years. With their expertise in garden, municipal and agricultural technology as well as sales, service and purchasing, Matthies, Meyer and Zuidema form an experienced management trio.

Bastian Meyer, formerly Head of Internal Sales at FORAS GmbH, will take on additional areas of responsibility within the management team of the Zeven-based wholesaler. René Zuidema will be the new Sales Manager for Professional Technology. His many years of experience as a field sales consultant for FORAS GmbH means that he has the necessary expertise for this new position. With the expertise they have acquired over the years, these industry professionals will complement the FORAS GmbH management team perfectly.

“Together with my long-time colleagues Bastian Meyer and René Zuidema, I look forward to continuing to drive the positive development of FORAS GmbH in the coming years. With their knowledge of the industry, they are a valuable addition to the management team,” said Ralf-Peter Matthies, Managing Director of FORAS GmbH.

David Schulze Hillert is leaving FORAS GmbH on 31.05.2024 for a change within the industry. The managing directors of the FRICKE Group Hans-Peter Fricke and Holger Wachholtz would like to thank David Schultze Hillert for the years of successful collaboration, which in recent years has been characterised primarily by the expansion of trading and service activities together with partner KUBOTA.
