Gerresheimer's strategic objective is to transform itself into a growth company that acts and operates as a dynamic innovation leader and solution provider.

Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer, is delighted with the appointment: “Ueli Utzinger has been very closely involved in our strategy process and has played an active role in shaping it. We experienced him as a dynamic doer and a valuable source of inspiration. He will make our transformation process visible and tangible for our customers, partners, investors, stakeholders and employees through active and creative communication.“
Ueli Utzinger is taking over from Jens Kürten, who is leaving Gerresheimer after twelve years of successful marketing and communications work to pursue a new career. Dietmar Siemssen bids farewell to the departing Head of Marketing and Communications: “Jens Kürten has done an outstanding job over the last twelve years and his professional work has made a significant contribution to Gerresheimer's position as one of the world's leading providers of solutions and products for pharma, biotech and beauty. The Gerresheimer Management Board would like to thank him for his achievements and wish him all the best for his professional and private future."
