Sales Manager Packaging DACH

At Holland Colours, you get the freedom to run your own market and build best-in-class solutions for circular PET packaging. We are a service provider, offering complete additive packages that accelerate circularity. As Senior Sales Manager Packaging for the DACH region, you will help us become a top player in the circular PET packaging market.
About the job  The Packaging market is changing rapidly. Sustainability, recycling and circularity are no longer optional; they are business critical. As Senior Sales Manager Packaging for the DACH region, you will be at the forefront of this transformation.
On the one hand, converters and brand owners are under constant pressure to deliver more sustainable solutions. On the other hand, recyclers face technical challenges to keep material quality high. This creates strong demand for additives that improve performance, stability and mechanical properties of recycled PET. As Senior Sales Manager Packaging, you work with well-known converters, while also building relationships with recyclers and brand owners in your region on sustainability ambitions.

Crucially, you collaborate with NGOs and stewardship experts to validate our products, giving customers confidence that our innovations deliver the necessary requirements from converters, brand owners and recyclers.
Holland Colours is uniquely positioned to provide complete additive solutions that solve real industry pain points. You will present products such as:
Tint Mask  – improving aesthetics and enabling the use of more recycled PET without visible compromise
Circ Stab  – stabilizer that enhances the lifetime and performance of recycled materials
Visco Boost  – boosting viscosity to ensure rPET maintains the processing properties needed for converters
ReWhite  – restoring brightness and appearance in recycled streams
What will you be doing?  As Senior Sales Manager Packaging DACH at Holland Colours, you blend technical curiosity with commercial drive. Your instinct is to open doors: you research, target and engage fresh prospects daily, never afraid of cold calling or knocking on doors. Here’s what will keep you busy:
You  identify and win new business  with converters, recyclers and brand owners;
You  promote additive  solutions (Tint Mask, Circ Stab, Visco Boost, ReWhite) that tackle core recycling, sustainability and circularity challenges;

The Team  Working within the broader EMEIA sales team of 40, you collaborate with both commercial and technical colleagues, reporting directly to the Sales Leader Packaging. On a global level, 15 colleagues focus on the packaging business, 7 of them in Europe. Our compact structure makes room for speed, short communication lines and visible impact.
You team up with the Business Development Manager to open doors, and the Product Marketing Manager to sharpen positioning and product stories. To keep things efficient, each Sales Manager is paired with a dedicated Customer Service Representative. While you lead the commercial relationship, the CSR handles the operational flow: processing orders, tracking production timelines, and communicating updates.
Even while working remotely, no one operates on an island. There are weekly team meetings and virtual round tables to discuss challenges and share insights.
