Bobst makes changes to group executive committee

Bobst noted that its web-fed business unit faces various challenges linked to its strategy implementation, market penetration and profitability improvement. The group is therefore implementing changes in this unit.

In a statement, Bobst noted: ‘We warmly thank Erik Bothorel for the important contribution he has brought to the group since 2004, first heading the Italy operations and, since 2009, as a group executive committee member. He devoted all these years to the business with passion, high professionalism and deep machinery business expertise.’

März is currently head of Bobst's services business unit. Julien Laran, current head of supply chain and operations within the services business unit, will be appointed head of that business unit as of January 1, 2019. Laran has been with the group since 2013 in various managerial positions within the company’s service business unit.
