Business people :Thomas Keppler walks away from Uhlsport

After the end of February, Thomas Keppler will leave Uhlsport, the German team sport company, at his own request to accept a new professional opportunity.

The 45-year-old manager has served the company for no less than 17 years, of which the last six saw him in the position of managing director in charge of sales, marketing and product management.
His workload will be shared by the other members of the executive board: Günter Daiss, Karsten Dormann and Peter Kuhl.

In his years at the top of Uhlsport, it has been his task to give a new profile to the Uhlsport label itself and the the two others with the group: Kempa, the specialty brand of handball products, and the licensed Spalding brand of balls.
