"As soon as the opportunity arose to continue my career with one of the biggest companies with a long history in Hungary, I immediately realized that I could easily identify with Dreher's business policy, values, and traditions. It is an exciting and honoring task to be involved in shaping the future of such a company with such a long history," says Szilágyi.
"I am confident that with my considerable experience in FMCG and my commercial acumen to shape the vision and strategic goals of the sales organization, I will be able to make a major contribution to Dreher's next successful years and decades," he adds.
