Mr Hauschulte graduated as an engineer at the University of Co-operated Education of Mosbach, where he specialised in wood technology.
He was employed as production manager at the sawmill six years ago and has worked his way through the company. His responsibility will still include technology and production, while he conducts the business together with joint managing directors Ulrich van Roje and Oliver Mühmel.
The Oberhonnefeld-based sawmill van Roje has a capacity of 500,000m3 a year and specialises in production to order of spruce and Douglas fir.
