The Supervisory Board of Gerresheimer AG has appointed Uwe Röhrhoff as interim CEO with effect from 1 November 2025. He succeeds Dietmar Siemssen, who is stepping down after seven years in agreement with the Supervisory Board.
Röhrhoff is returning to Gerresheimer after around eight years. From 1991 to 2017, he held various management positions at the company, most recently as CEO. The experienced industry expert will finalise the ongoing personnel restructuring of the Management Board.
„We are delighted that we have been able to recruit Uwe Röhrhoff, a proven industry expert, as interim CEO,“ said Dr Axel Herberg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. „As the former CEO of Gerresheimer, he is an excellent expert on the company and understands the business and its challenges very well.“
Newly formed management team
The change at the top completes the reorganisation of the Executive Board for the time being. Wolf Lehmann succeeded Dr Bernd Metzner as CFO back in September. On 1 November also takes over Achim Schalk the position on the Executive Board from Dr Lukas Burkhard.
The outgoing CEO Dietmar Siemssen had headed Gerresheimer since 2018 and, according to the Supervisory Board, drove the transformation from a volume supplier to a systems and solutions partner for the pharma and biotech industry.
