Norbert Monßen has retired from his position as Managing Director of BDV. He has been the living soul of the German Vending Association for more than 23 years. As an appointee of a BDV Ehrenurkunde that he gave in my hands during a very touching ceremony in Dresden 4 years ago, I wish to salute a man who deserves a place in the history of European Vending, while giving a heartfelt welcome to his successor, Mr. Aris Kashefi.
