News General news
The Vivaris Getränke GmbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, has a new managing director in Tobias Wiesner from 1 April 2021. Wiesner thus succeeds Frank Völkner, who is leaving the company at his own request on 31 March 2021 to take up a new challenge. Vivaris is responsible for the non-alcoholic beverage business within the Berentzen Group. Wiesner will also be a member of the group's management board.
"We are pleased to be able to introduce Tobias Wiesner, a new managing director with many years of experience and outstanding expertise in the field of non-alcoholic beverages," says Oliver Schwegmann, member of the Executive Board of Berentzen Group Aktiengesellschaft. Wiesner is currently still working for Valensina GmbH. As a member of the company's management board, he has been responsible for the entire brand sales since 2016 and has successfully developed the business. Wiesner has been working for Valensina since 2006 in various sales positions and in marketing. The 45-year-old previously started his career at InBev Germany.
"Our goal is to develop Vivaris from a predominantly regional well operation with a high proportion of concession and contract filling business into a self-confident national branded goods manufacturer. We have already taken the first important steps in this direction. We are convinced that together with Tobias Wiesner, we will continue to successfully shape the future path," says Schwegmann.
Wiesner will also become managing director of Berentzen-Vivaris Vertriebs GmbH from 1 April 2021. The Group company, which was launched in July 2020, bundles the sales activities of the Berentzen Group's sales force for branded spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. Here, too, Wiesner succeeds Frank Völkner.
