Tom Schumann appointed new General Manager at CHAINMASTER
Tom is a familiar face within the LIFTKET Group. He joined the LIFTKET Hoffmann GmbH back in March 2011 and has since gained extensive experience across all sales areas. Among other roles, he also served as Managing Director of LIFTKET India before being appointed Head of Sales at LIFTKET Germany.
Thanks to the close collaboration within the group, Tom is already well acquainted with the CHAINMASTER team in Eilenburg – something that only adds to his excitement for the new role. “I’m really looking forward to the new challenges in the entertainment sector and to working closely with the CHAINMASTER team to drive innovation,” says Schumann.
Benjamin Göldner, Vice President Stage of the LIFTKET Group, adds: “With Tom, we are gaining a leader who not only knows the LIFTKET Group inside out, but also brings international experience and a deep understanding of our markets. I’m confident that he will continue CHAINMASTER’s success story and provide new momentum.”
Since the introduction of CHAINMASTER products in 1994, the Saxon medium-sized company has evolved into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lifting equipment in the event industry, offering a comprehensive product range for all requirements from basic operations to complex scenic movements and complete show automation. National and international projects are individually supported from planning to commissioning and user training, and the global network of CHAINMASTER Consulting Offices, trade partners, and trained service centers ensures appropriate after-sales service. Currently, approximately 125,000 chain hoists are in use, and CHAINMASTER exports to 55 countries worldwide. Among the company’s references are projects such as the construction of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Louvre in Lens, the Stockholm Opera, the Almaty Ice Arena, the Kremlin State Palace, the 2014 Sochi Olympics, or the Helmut List Hall in Graz.
