Melanie Lauer has joined the executive board of Trisport to help the development of the Kettler brand of fitness equipment in the areas of marketing, logistics, procurement, finance and operations. Lauer, who comes from Conrad Electronic, will serve as one of the Swiss company’s general managers alongside Stefan Christen, who has been running it since 2009. He will concentrate on sales and product management. The boost of the management function follows Trisport’s acquisition last year of the rights for the Kettler brand all over Europe, with the exception of the U.K.
