“Thanks to our innovative products and excellent market position, demand and order intake for our systems is growing considerably worldwide”, says Ulrich Hülsbeck, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “In order to steer our group through the next phase of organic growth, we have decided to install a fresh and at the same time highly experienced management team.” Hülsbeck also thanked the parting CFO and COO for their services and wished them the very best for their future.
The new CFO Tom Graf has an extensive track record in various management positions at international manufacturing companies, in particular with automotive suppliers. Previous appointments include larger industrial mid-caps. He will especially bring in his know-how in process improvement for globally active companies.
