Marcel Messner

Marcel Messner grew up surrounded by the sound of music, so it is no surprise that he is now part of the industry himself – the music business runs in his blood! His father, Hans-Peter, already had a distinguished career in the industry. Hans-Peter joined GEWA music in the mid-1980s and took over the company a few years later. Marcel is now also working in the business and is leading the company to new shores as CEO. When Marcel joined GEWA music, the company already had a lineup of prestigious brands, but it was he who further developed partnerships with household names like DW Drums & REMO by interning in those companies in 2015. With his experience in marketing and social media, Marcel has significantly raised the profile of GEWA music and its ever-growing portfolio of music products worldwide. He works closely with his father to establish his own brands and expand the company's distribution network.
