The Endress+Hauser Group (Reinach, Switzerland; www.endress.com) is making personnel changes to its Executive Board. Gerhard Jost, a member of the Executive Board, retired at the end of 2015. Manfred Jagiella has joined the Group’s top management panel. On June 1, 2016, Michael Ziesemer will move to the company’s Supervisory Board. At the same time, Andreas Mayr will take over responsibility on the Executive Board.
Endress+Hauser is using these personnel changes as an opportunity to bundle activities and reallocate responsibilities within the Executive Board. CEO Matthias Altendorf will focus on production, logistics and corporate strategy. Manfred Jagiella is responsible for Endress+Hauser’s analytical business while Andreas Mayr will oversee the Group’s marketing, technology and communications activities. In addition, Nikolaus Krüger, a member of the Executive Board since 2008, will take over responsibility for all of the Group’s sales activities.
The remaining members of the Executive Board – Roland Kienzler (human resources), Pieter de Koning (IT), Dr Luc Schultheiss (finance and controlling) and Dr Heiner Zehntner (legal) – will be unaffected by these changes and will continue to oversee their respective areas of responsibility.
