Changes on the Executive Board

Change is tak­ing place at the top of the Endress+Hauser Group. Effec­tive 1 March 2019, Dr Andreas Mayr will become Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer (COO) respon­si­ble for sales, pro­duc­tion and sup­port, thus assum­ing more respon­si­bil­i­ty on the Exec­u­tive Board. In this func­tion he will serve as deputy CEO to Matthias Altendorf. On 1 Octo­ber 2018, Jörg Ste­gert joined the Group to over­see the entire per­son­nel area as Chief Human Resources Offi­cer (CHRO).
The impe­tus behind the reor­ga­ni­za­tion is the increas­ing dynam­ic of dig­i­tal­iza­tion, the fluc­tu­at­ing eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal envi­ron­ment, and last but not least, the sus­tained growth of the inter­na­tion­al­ly active Group. “We want to con­tin­ue to active­ly shape this trans­for­ma­tion,” explained Klaus Endress, Pres­i­dent of the Super­vi­so­ry Board. “By bundling the oper­a­tional respon­si­bil­i­ty of the Group in the hands of a COO, we can free up more time for the CEO to focus on his activities.”
Matthias Altendorf, who has led the fam­i­ly-owned com­pa­ny since 2014, will focus more intense­ly on align­ing, grow­ing and strength­en­ing the Endress+Hauser Group, as well as fur­ther anchor­ing the cor­po­rate cul­ture and val­ues into the glob­al net­work of com­pa­nies. Apart from strat­e­gy, busi­ness devel­op­ment and dig­i­tal­iza­tion, the CEO will con­cen­trate on fur­ther expand­ing the lab­o­ra­to­ry analy­sis business.
Andreas Mayr (57), as Cor­po­rate Direc­tor of Mar­ket­ing & Tech­nol­o­gy, was already a mem­ber of the Group’s Exec­u­tive Board. He holds a doc­tor­ate in physics and joined Endress+Hauser in 1998. In his new role, he will focus all of his time and efforts on help­ing to man­age the Group. His suc­ces­sor as CEO of Endress+Hauser SE+Co. KG in Maulburg, Ger­many – the Group’s cen­ter of com­pe­tence for lev­el and pres­sure mea­sure­ment tech­nol­o­gy – effec­tive 1 Jan­u­ary 2019 will be Dr Peter Selders (49), who has been Head of Main Divi­sion, Tech­nol­o­gy to date.

Human resources area under new leadership

Jörg Ste­gert joined the Exec­u­tive Board on 1 Octo­ber 2018 to head up the Group’s human resources area. The 48-year-old was most recent­ly Head of Human Resources at Knorr-Bremse AG in Munich. There he sup­port­ed the com­pa­ny at the exec­u­tive lev­el and over­saw projects in the HR area such as the estab­lish­ment of inter­na­tion­al struc­tures and a state-of-the-art IT land­scape for HR appli­ca­tions. Jörg Ste­gert is fur­ther­more famil­iar with issues relat­ed to inter­nal com­mu­ni­ca­tions and train­ing and edu­ca­tion. He replaces Roland Kien­zler who left the com­pa­ny to pur­sue oth­er opportunities.
