Members of the Board of Directors today are Ulf Pöppel, LL.M., CEO; Rainer Pöppel, CEO; Dirk Pöppel, M.Sc., CFO. Sebastian Pöppel, Christian Pöppel and Niels Pöppel are REGUPOL BSW shareholders and Sales, Purchase and Production Directors, thus representing the fourth generation of the Pöppel family to serve REGUPOL BSW and its subsidiaries. Generation number five is in the cradle, kindergarten and primary school. It is our aim that one day this generation will continue the tradition as well.
