This change will take effect from the beginning of 2024 when Hansjoerg Gietz will focus on his role as chairman of the board of directors and continue to support the company with his extensive experience and foresight.

During his long tenure as managing director, Hansjoerg Gietz has made a significant contribution to the development and success of the company. His commitment to excellence and ability to turn vision into reality have made the company a leading player in print finishing and security printing.

His contribution and performance will continue to be invaluable as he now focuses on driving the company's strategic direction as chairman of the board.

Marcel Gerber, who has worked in the printing industry for around 15 years and has headed the engineering department at Gietz for six years, brings a broad range of experience and extensive industry knowledge.

His deep understanding of the technological landscape and commitment to innovation will help to keep the company on track for success and open up new opportunities for growth and development. 

The management team will comprise Michael Grau, head of sales; Felix Kramer, head of engineering; Claudia Heer, head of finance; Daniel Sund, head of production; and Christian Casutt, head of service.

Marcel Gerber is looking forward to taking over the company's management and, together with the dedicated team at Gietz, achieving the ambitious goals set for the future.

Hansjoerg Gietz and Marcel Gerber agree that this planned transition phase will allow the company to develop seamlessly without compromising the quality and service for which Gietz is renowned.
