After 15 years with German cigar manufacturer Arnold André, managing director Wiljo van Maren has left the company on his own wish.
Van Maren was primarily responsible for sales, marketing, finance, and administration, leaving a considerable imprint on the 200-year-old family-owned firm. His main achievement was to successfully expand Arnold André’s operations into the international arena, leading to improved brand recognition and increased sales worldwide. His decision to leave Arnold André was due to purely personal reasons. A successor has so far not been announced by the company.
