Goebel appoints Andreas Hollmann as new CEO

Hollmann has worked in the packaging sector since 2003 and has held management positions there for many years. Until October 2014, he was CEO of Ishida, the global market leader in multi-head weighing machines, and produces inspection systems for quality assurance, such as checkweighers and x-ray inspection systems. Prior to this, Hollmann was responsible for the worldwide expansion of Hastamat Verpackungstechnik in Lahnau, Germany.

Hollmann succeeds interim CEO Roberta Ghilardi, who will remain responsible for the further integration of Goebel into the IMS Deltamatic Group structure and the optimization of processes within the company.

Goebel, a provider of slitter rewinders for converting papers, plastic films and special materials, said it is ‘delighted to have found such a passionate mechanical engineer with management experience for this position’.

Hollman himself said: ‘As a passionate mechanical engineer, I am thrilled to be taking over the leadership of such a traditional company in the sector. Goebel stands out thanks to its development and construction of high-quality machines with state-of-the-art technology, meeting all the expectations that the “Made in Germany” label brings with it around the world.

‘I am delighted to now be integrated into IMS Deltamatic Group and to be part of this successful company.’
