Virginia Business reported Bjoern Fischer and Nick Jiannas have left Stihl Inc. by “mutual agreement,” according to an Oct. 8, 2021 internal company memo obtained by magazine.
The new location adds more warehouse space with taller, longer racks and more efficient picking methods to speed up the fulfillment of dealer orders and deliveries.
Rural Lifestyle Dealer recently talked with STIHL Inc. President Bjoern Fischer to get his views on the company’s newest products, developments in battery-powered equipment, robotics — and the idea of STIHL dealers competing against each other.
Bjoern Fischer comments on the growth and expertise of STIHL dealers, the company’s new robotic mower, the iMow, as well as its full lineup of battery-powered products.
During his retirement Whyte stated, “I often say history is a great business teacher. And after working for more than four decades in this industry, I can confirm that substance wins out over style, every time.”
Here's an excerpt from an interview for the The New York Times' "Workspace" column. Fischer shares his thoughts on staying the course, show and tell and more.
