Horst Tschörtner has retired - Mister IT listened to everyone’s concerns

Horst Tschörtner has retired after almost 45 years with the company. The longstanding head of the administrative and personel department in Hude and head of the corporate IT organisation began his career in October 1976 as a “jobber in the company“ and then underwent training as an industrial clerk, which he completed in 1981. Just one year later, when the first IT system was implemented in Hude, Mr Tschörtner assumed responsibility in an important position in the company. He built up the IT department in Hude and installed an effective IT organisation at every location, which is why he was appointed head of the corporate IT organisation by the management in 1990. A few years later, he was first appointed head of personnel and subsequently head of administration in Hude. 

As head of personnel of a growing company, the training of future specialists was important to him. He also encouraged those who had not had an easy start in life. He was the contact person for the employees for any concerns or difficulties, and he was also appreciated by the management as a person of trust. Mr Tschörtner was also very active outside the company, e.g. in the Hude community foundation, where he organised the annual wish tree campaign for children at Christmas. AMAZONEN-WERKE would like to thank Mr Tschörtner for his many years of loyalty to the company, his dedicated work and the mutually supportive working relationship.
