Monforts' new managing director relishes a challenge
Volker Gingter has been appointed managing director of dyeing and finishing technology company A. Monforts Textilmaschinen following the retirement of longstanding managing director Gunnar Meyer.
Mr Gingter started his career as an electrician in 1997 at Sucker-Müller-Hacoba, also headquartered in Mönchengladbach, and first joined Monforts in 2000 as an inhouse commissioning engineer.
Between 2010 and 2013 he worked at Esprit on a new European warehouse before rejoining Monforts as engineering service manager. He became head of the service department in 2020 and in 2025 also took charge of the spare parts department.
He said: "Today’s volatile worldwide market situation will be a challenge, but I am ready to navigate Monforts through this demanding time."
A. Monforts Textilmaschinen was founded in 1884 and supplies stenters, continuous dyeing ranges, sanforising ranges and special executions for denim and for the finishing of technical textiles. At its Advanced Technology Center in Mönchengladbach, customers can undertake fabric trials. For over 40 years, the company’s production site has been in St Stefan, Austria. Monforts is a member of CHTC Fong’s Group.
