Wolfgang Ziegler passes away

Novamelt has announced Wolfgang Ziegler, ‘our highly regarded manager, colleague, and friend’, passed away on November 6, 2012. He died at the age of 41 after a short but difficult battle with cancer.

Ziegler joined Novamelt in 1999 after finishing his university degree.  He was responsible for managing production.  He later assumed responsibility for managing the R&D department.  As technical director in 2008, he was responsible for all technical affairs in Germany and USA.  Together with his team, he initiated innovative new adhesive developments that set new standards in the PSA tape and label markets both for today and into the future.

Novamelt commented: ‘His outstanding technical grasp of the subject matter set him apart as a valued and respected resource not only inside of Novamelt, but also worldwide with countless customers and suppliers.  Wolfgang Ziegler was for all of us a shining example not only of honesty and willingness to help, but as a human being.’
