“Stefan Eiselein was responsible for managing and driving forward digital development at Vogel Communications for many years.

Digitalization is just one of the drivers of this development. I’m very pleased to acquire a new international business field with LAUDA Medical,” says Stefan Eiselein, commenting on his new role.
