Marc Matern

Marc Matern has been the new Managing Director (CEO) of the trade fair construction company since 1 March 2024. Together with Thomas Licht, he now forms the management team. Marc Matern replaces the previous CEO Manfred Pütz, who will remain with the company for a few more weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Pütz is leaving Schnaitt at his own request to take on a new challenge.

Marc Matern is deeply rooted in the industry and has extensive expertise in exhibition stand construction. Prior to his current engagement at Schnaitt, Marc Matern worked as Director Marketing & Business Development at EAST END Communications, Head of Business Development at VRPE Team and – most recently – as Managing Director worldwide for the E3 Group. He has in-depth expertise in the areas of sales, strategy and marketing and knows the event industry inside out.

Marc Matern: „Schnaitt is ideally positioned to fulfil its own service promise in the short term thanks to its own depth of added value. Thanks to our experienced team, we can offer reliable consulting services – particularly with regard to current topics such as sustainability, budget compliance and the hybridisation of trade fairs. In the medium term, we will continue to expand our capacities and initiate further partnerships with other communication disciplines.“
