Webak, the Austrian manufacturer of AWP machines, has appointed a new general manager.

The owners, Kurt and Eveline Kreiner, will install Norbert Gruber in that position from the beginning of May.

Gruber comes from outside of the industry, but has considerable experience in the economics sector.

His role will be to act as head office support for the Kreiners, who purportedly need more time to work with their distributors and customers ‘in the field.’

The company has made strong inroads into Germany with its multigame machine and is now tackling other markets.
