Wuppertal, 03. 12.2009 - Lawyer Martin Auerbach takes over the management of the Association of the German Home Textiles Industry
The Board has to announce that the Managing Director of the Association of the German Home Textiles Industry, Mr Hans Joachim Schilgen, asked to be relieved from his duties related to his office, due to different opinions on the strategic orientation of the Association.
