The Felix Schoeller Group has named Hadrien Cottin its new Area Sales Manager for France and the Benelux countries. In the role, announced in February 2018, he becomes the main contact for the company’s Digital Media product range in the region.
Felix Schoeller is a German maker of specialty papers based in Osnabrück. The company was founded there in 1895 by Felix Hermann Maria Schoeller. With this appointment, Cottin takes charge of customers in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
He is a familiar name in the French paper and printing market. Before joining Felix Schoeller, Cottin was secretary general of AFDPE, the French association of paper and packaging distributors. He also served as general coordinator of MIP, a movement that links the paper and board sectors in France.
His record goes further. Cottin worked as national director for Two Sides France and for Print Power France, so he has dealt with paper and print from several sides of the trade.
Because of that background, he joins the company already knowing much of the French market from the inside. Cottin said he was looking forward to working with clients in France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
