In addition to his wealth of experience and knowledge, Bob is one of the most universally liked individuals in the industry, having gained many friends and earned much respect. Hes known for his stylish, intelligent and energetic approach to business, which makes him ideal for Robes Family and executive Dream Team.
Robe s.r.o.s Sales Director Harry von Den Stemmen comments, Bob is absolutely the best possible lighting professional we could have to lead Robe in the US. We share the same core values and his dynamic approach and progressive thinking are exactly where we are at.
Bob has been impressed with Robe right from the start when the brand launched in 2002. I have always admired Robe for the way they conduct their business, the innovative products they bring to the market and the brilliant people who are integral to the operation he states, adding I am hugely excited to be working with such a fantastic company and look forward to taking Robe Lighting Inc. forward to the next levels.
Robe Lighting s.r.o.s CEO Josef Valchar states, We are absolutely delighted to have Bob onboard. His reputation and character speak for themselves, he has a natural synergy with the way we work at Robe and its a perfect match!

Says Harry, Chief Financial Officer and COO Lorienn Cochenour and the US staff have done a fabulous job and I want to thank them for their dedication and continued hard work. I have known Bob for many years, it is a complete joy that we will be working together and I felt totally comfortable introducing him and the US team to each other.
Robe has recently launched a new Middle East facility in Dubai and appointed Sren Storm as International Business Development Manager. Bob Schacherl joining is the latest move indicating a real confidence and commitment to sustaining profitable long term growth by the independently owned Czech manufacturer.
