Managerial changes

Mr Peter Kundlacz will be the successor of Mr Franz Jürgen van Bürck with effect from 1 April 2011.

Mr van Bürck will be taking his well-earned retirement on 31 March 2011. The entire workforce thanks him for his year-long successful commitment for the benefit of the company and therefore also for the benefit of the staff. We wish Mr van Bürck all the best and above all good health during his coming stage of life.

Thanks to the professional induction by Mr van Bürck, Mr Kundlacz will be able to continue with the strategic and operative businesses without interruption.
