Schlüter brings nearly 10 years experience in the lighting and entertainment industry to Rosco. Most recently, she worked for Lightpower (Rosco's German dealership) and MA Lighting / Rainbow International as the international key account manager.
"I really enjoyed my long-term work with the team of Lightpower and MA Lighting, but now look forward to a new step in this exciting industry. Rosco represents a whole new challenge to me. When the opportunity came up to join them and become a part of their team, I had to go for it. Rosco is on the move and clearly ready to make the next step in Europe. I'm thrilled at the opportunity to take it with them" comments Schlüter.
Kees Frijters, Rosco VP European operations, says: "Katrin's appointment is part of the continued investment in our European growth and development. She is very talented and fits in well with our organisation.
Rosco has also appointed Lex Verstraaten - formerly of Dutch Rosco dealer, Controllux - as European Mural product manager, with the specific remit of developing Rosco's opportunities in this market and working with clients to make projects as seamless as possible.
"Murals have long been one of Rosco's 'hidden core products'. The success of this line has been phenomenal in the US. The potential in Europe is huge. It is time we gave this product range the dedicated attention it deserves. Lex Verstraaten is the perfect addition to the Rosco team to achieve that." says Frijters.
Verstraaten comes to Rosco with some 18 years of experience in the theatre, TV and film industries and brings with him a raft of product knowledge and industry contacts. He says, "Rosco's product range is extremely wide and each product carries the Rosco quality stamp. Murals have made an enormous impact in the US market and I am delighted at the opportunity to take them to the level they deserve in Europe."
