Heidelberg CFO moves to a new role

In the period until his actual departure, Wassenberg will work with the Supervisory Board and the chief executive officer to ensure an orderly transition of his duties and responsibilities into new hands. The Supervisory Board plans to fill the position quickly.  

 

Martin Sonnenschein, chairman of the Supervisory Board of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, said: ‘Over the past three years, Marcus Wassenberg has done effective work both in restructuring the company and in driving forward the transformation. His imminent departure is also an expression of the milestones achieved, the financial successes achieved and the regained future viability of Heidelberg. We thank him for his important contributions. 

 

Dr Ludwin Monz, chairman of the Management Board, added: ‘In Marcus Wassenberg, we are losing a committed innovator and I am losing a very valued Board colleague. Despite the unexpected challenges of the pandemic and the current uncertain geopolitical situation, he and his colleagues have restored the company's robust economic performance. We will now continue unwaveringly with the strategic development of our portfolio and business model innovation. This is what our Supervisory Board, the management team and I stand for together. The future of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen is spread across many strong shoulders.’  

 

Wassenberg concluded: ‘The task now is to further strengthen the core business and at the same time drive forward the development of new business areas based on the company's extensive competencies, for example in electromobility, automation and sensor technology. Under the leadership of Ludwin Monz, the company is excellently equipped for this permanent innovation task.’
