Werner Spohn moves into retirement

After almost six years as key-account manager for building systems and business development, Werner Spohn will retire at the end of 2022. He will remain with the company and the industry in an advisory function. Werner Spohn started working for Gutmann on the 1st February 2017 in the Building Systems division. Most recently, he worked for GSI German Services International AG within the Gutmann Group. In his professional career, he gained more than 30 years of sales experience in leading positions in the wood-aluminium systems business and created for himself an extensive network in the window and façade industry, from which Gutmann has regularly benefited. With the establishment and expansion of this industry network, he succeeded in bringing suppliers and manufacturers together and turning these cooperations into regional models of success - among other things, through joint workshops and product and tool developments.

Spohn developed close contacts with all important industry associations and institutions, was also active as a lecturer in the area of training and further education and initiated projects at Gutmann such as the academy, the partner programme or the start-up concepts B2C with online shop. "It was both an exciting and challenging time," says Spohn, summing up his years at Gutmann, adding: "I was able to work with great colleagues, customers and industry partners in a company with an impressive range of services." Arnd Brinkmann, Managing Director of Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH: "Werner Spohn has had a lasting and successful impact on us and has set real trends. He has shown that a qualitative and trusting cooperation between the manufacturing and the executing side leads to better results for all parties involved. We will maintain and cultivate this credo, and therefore we are grateful that he will remain with us as an advisor for the time being." Spohn sees Gutmann on a successful path and recommends "keeping the three big points in mind: Trust, communication and appreciation."
