Winfried Schleicher deceased

OBITUARY

On Friday March 28th 2010 we got the sad message that Mr. Winfried Schleicher has died after a long disease, aged 77.

As the son of the company founder Alexander Schleicher, former co-partner and Chief Executive Officer, he spent his whole working life in the Schleicher factory.

Until his retirement in 1993 our customers and subcontractors have known him as the director of the sales and trading department.
