Peter Schwanitz learned at an early age the tools of the trade surrounding professional advice in timber harvesting and transport machinery during his practical work as a skidder, timber transport truck driver, and head of operations at a forestry company. Even as a young man, he was fascinated with construction machinery, trucks, and forest machinery, earning extra pocket money by servicing trucks. This penchant evolved into a great passion that was intensified even further by his training:
- Forester training in Austria
- Forestry studies in Göttingen
- Probationary training period in Rheinland-Pfalz

Business and commerce is Jutta Schwanitz’ passion. This evolved from training as a bank clerk followed by her business economics studies in Augsburg. The moulding factors were her experiences as a branch manager and HR director for a large furniture store. As the head of finance and human resources at KOX, she steered the transition of an SME to an international conglomerate under US joint stock law. Her heart beats for responsible shaping, her forte is organisation.
An experienced coworker of many years in Technical Sales, Ms Schubert is the expert contact for all questions on our grapples, rotators, and replacement parts.

This also extends to the availability of our products that, thanks to her yearlong experience, she has been organising for order placements to optimal effect.
Frank Hirschle’s career has been moulded by his fascination for technology right up to the present day. He learned the practical side during his vocational training as a car mechanic and his advanced training qualifying him as a foreman for the metalworking industries. Afterwards, he worked for some years in this sector and was soon fascinated by the technical relationships. On the other hand, customer advice evolved into Frank Hirschle’s true passion. Key vocational stations were his activities in the technical sales of replacement parts for motorised devices, motor vehicles, and construction machinery and his many years of advice and sales of replacement parts and consumables for timber harvesting machinery at KOX Harvester. At PHILIPP Forstwerkzeuge, Frank Hirschle has specialised in advice for Clark Tracks tracks and all questions concerning Hultdins and Indexator products.

She has completed a dual-course business and economics degree at KOX. This is where she acquired an extensive knowledge about forestry products.
After completing her studies, she focused for a long time on digital marketing and has more than familiarised herself with the spare parts used in timber harvesting. Since January 2019, Lisa Korb has been responsible for the marketing at our company, focusing passionately on our brands and products.
