Allendale, NJ—The strategy to internationalize Leica Camera has presented new opportunities for all areas of the company, Leica announced. These include new operations and a realignment of the sales force.

A new Sales, Marketing and Communication department will join the management board’s Finance and Development/Production departments. Matthias Harsch will head the new department on an interim basis for nine months, beginning immediately.
In the past months, Harsch has led the optimization project “LOOP” as a partner of Candidus Management Consulting. As a result, he is very familiar with the structures and procedures in the company.
