Jürgen Otto will become the new CEO of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG on July 1, 2024. He succeeds Dr. Ludwin Monz, who will resign from his position as chairman of the Management Board at his own request and in agreement with the Supervisory Board.
“We very much regret Dr. Ludwin Monz's decision to leave Heidelberg,” said Dr. Martin Sonnenschein, chairman of the Supervisory Board. "He has decisively advanced our company strategically and operationally and thus strengthened our foundation in a difficult market environment. With Jürgen Otto, we are gaining a proven leader."
Otto brings decades of experience in the sustainable orientation of large industrial companies, complemented by experience in the field of turnaround management in the recent years.
“Heidelberg is an icon of German industry with product quality and service expertise that is appreciated worldwide,” said Otto. “I am looking forward to becoming part of Heidelberg and working together with the management team around Tania von der Goltz and David Schmedding as well as all employees on a successful future for the company."
At its meeting on April 19, 2024, the Supervisory Board of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG also expanded its Management Board. Dr. David Schmedding, previously head of sales, will join the Management Board as a new member. As of July 1, 2024, the Management Board will consist of Otto as CEO, von der Goltz as CFO and Dr. Schmedding as chief sales and service officer.
