Markus Zalud strengthens management team
The Linz-based software company Industrie Informatik has appointed Markus Zalud as a new member of the management board. Zalud (44) is responsible in particular for consulting and commercial issues.
Markus Zalud joins the management team, which currently consists of the two Managing Directors Bernhard Falkner and Eckhard Winter. After several years of experience, including as a production manager, Zalud completed his MBA studies in the USA. This was followed by a longer-term engagement for a globally active industrial company in the USA, Germany and China, where Zalud most recently also worked as General Manager of a production plant. Subsequently, the native Viennese took over the management of a medium-sized Austrian mechanical engineering company.
As an internationally oriented software company with headquarters in Linz/Upper Austria, Industrie Informatik has been supporting manufacturing companies in optimizing their production processes for over 25 years.
