Austrian subsidiary of the internationally active Swiss clothing retailer Charles Vogele appointed Markus Laubli as Managing Director, with effect from 1 December 2005
Markus Laubli has worked at Charles Vogele Group since 12 August 1996.
He started out as the very successful manager of the Swiss Sales Organization Charles Vogele Mode AG, where he was able to strengthen and develop the Group's market position in its highly competitive domestic market.
From 1 October 2002 until now he has been making his proven industry expertise and extensive experience available to the Belgian and Dutch Sales Organizations, where he worked with local management to increase the profitability and efficiency of both national operations.
As well as taking charge of the operational management of Charles Vogele (Austria) AG, in his new role he will also be responsible for the expansion into Slovenia as well as leading the development of the pilot market in Hungary and supporting the launch of pilot markets in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Dr. Martin Zieger had been in charge of the Austrian Sales Organization since 13 March 2000.
Over the last 5 years he built up the branch network from 106 stores in 2000 to today's 142, thus greatly expanding Charles Vogele's market position.
In response to his wish to take on a new professional challenge and further his career elsewhere, his employment relationship has been ended.
Charles Vogele Group would like to thank Dr. Martin Zieger for his personal commitment over the last five years and to wish him every success in the future.
Charles Vogele has 142 stores throughout Austria, making it the country's most widespread fashion retailer.
The company employs more than 1'200 people and in 2004 achieved sales of around CHF 252.6 million (about EUR 164 million).
