As the business nature of the Wind industry is different from the Marine and Industrial activities, Gurit has decided to divide its Business Unit Composite Materials. Both target market focused organisations will allow Gurit to further improve customer focus and support, which will enable stronger business growth. Both business units will continue to have access to the entire materials offering.
Lance Hill has joined Gurit in 2009 and is currently the Regional Director of Gurit Americas. Previously he held positions within the composites industry. Lance Hill is a British national and holds an MBA degree of the University of Birmingham. He will relocate from the US to Europe for his new role.
The Wind Materials Business Unit will be run by Rudolf Hadorn during the time when Stefan Gautschi will leave Gurit in June 2020 until the new General Manager Wind Materials is on board.
The subsidiaries of Gurit Holding AG, Wattwil/Switzerland, (SIX Swiss Exchange: GUR) specialize in the development and manufacture of advanced composite materials, composite tooling equipment and core kitting services. The product range comprises structural core materials, fibre reinforced prepregs, wind blade moulds, formulated products including coatings, resins and adhesives as well as structural composite engineering. Gurit supplies global growth markets such as the wind turbine industry, aerospace, marine, rail and many more. Gurit operates production sites and offices in Canada, China, Denmark, Ecuador, Germany, Indonesia, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States.
