Van der Molen today announced that Sascha Wesely has joined its management 
team as head of technical operations as of May 2015. 
 
Sascha Wesely has an extensive knowledge and experience in process 
solutions for the non-alcoholic beverage industry including syrup rooms for 
carbonated soft drinks and fruit juices, water treatment as well as dairy 
processes. Mr. Wesely will inter alia drive innovation and modularization 
at Van der Molen. Mr. Wesely is supported by a strong team of engineers 
headed by Michael Filser with a long-term experience in process solutions 
of non-alcoholic beverages. Mr. Wesely follows Udo Heintz who remains with 
Van der Molen but will for personal reasons assume the role of Senior 
Technical Expert. 
 
Mr. Wesely is another major hire since the acquisition of Van der Molen by 
Munich-based RADIAL CAPITAL PARTNERS in December 2014: 
 
Josef Staible, former owner of Van der Molen, joined the advisory board of 
the Company already in February 2015 supporting customer relations and 
driving the development of the Asian Markets. Mr. Staible's profound 
knowledge of the market and his strong network provides Van der Molen with 
access to additional business opportunities.

for Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East already in March 
2015. Mr. Manzini has an in-depth knowledge of process solutions in the

Molen business for the benefit of our customers. Van der Molen has always 
been amongst the best in class and on top of developments in the beverage 
industry and we certainly intend to improve our position further", comments 
Andreas Mayr, managing director and co-shareholder of Van der Molen. "Now 
that we have our team in place we will implement our re-shaped business

make use of our unique position as an independent provider of process 
solutions for the beverage industry" adds Ulrich Radlmayr, member of the
