FARE expands management team

Remscheid/Germany-based umbrella specialist FARE – Guenther Fassbender GmbH is expanding its management team with Philipp Oergel as the new Management Assistant. The 39-year-old joined the company at the beginning of June 2025. In this role, he will be providing extensive support to Managing Director Volker Griesel in the areas of marketing, sales and IT/digitalisation.

Oergel has around 11 years of experience in managing national and international transformation and optimisation projects in the B2B and B2C sectors. He has held various management positions in the fashion (HUGO BOSS), mechanical engineering (TRUMPF), job platform (StepStone) and IT consulting (Fellowmind) industries.

“I’m very glad to be part of the FARE family,” says Philipp Oergel. “FARE stands for quality, innovation, sustainability and customer focus – values that I personally share. My goal is to work with the team to further strengthen the brand, optimise processes and drive the strategic direction of the company in a sustainable manner. Before joining FARE, I could never have imagined that, of all things, umbrellas would inspire me so much as a product.”

According to the company, “FARE is boosting its strategic expertise with Philipp Oergel and setting the course for successful and future-oriented development.” www.fare.de
