The SCHNEEBERGER Group Strengthens Its Sales Organization in Europe

SCHNEEBERGER announces an important change in its sales management: Bernd Kronenbitter will join SCHNEEBERGER as the new Vice President of Sales in February 2026.

He succeeds Peter Schönbach, who retired at the end of 2025 after a remarkable career spanning nearly three decades at SCHNEEBERGER. Bernd Kronenbitter brings extensive international experience in senior sales and product management roles, having held positions at Bosch Rexroth and Bucher Hydraulics. Most recently, as Head of Global Sales at Argo Hytos, a renowned provider of hydraulic solutions, he was responsible for the strategic development of the sales organization and the promotion of sustainable growth.

"We warmly welcome Bernd Kronenbitter and wish him all the best in his new role at SCHNEEBERGER. We are confident that he will play a key role in accelerating growth and strengthening customer relationships in our European target markets, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, the United Kingdom, and the Benelux countries, thereby making a significant contribution to the consistent implementation of our growth strategy," explains Tobias Daniel, Chief Sales Officer at SCHNEEBERGER.

With his proven track record and in-depth industry expertise, Bernd Kronenbitter is a valuable addition to the SCHNEEBERGER Group's management team.

At the same time, the SCHNEEBERGER Group would like to express its sincere thanks to Peter Schönbach for almost three decades of exceptional service. With his commitment, leadership skills, and close relationship with customers and employees, he has had a lasting impact on the company and contributed significantly to its current success.
