\u201eWe very much regret Dr Ludwin Monz's decision to leave Heidelberg. He has decisively advanced our company strategically and operationally and thus strengthened our foundation in a difficult market environment. In J\u00fcrgen Otto we are gaining a proven leader. With his experience and his network, we will continue to consistently orientate Heidelberg towards the future, increase profitability and further strengthen our significant technological expertise in the printing and packaging industry and beyond.\u201c<\/p>\n

Dr Martin Sonnenschein<\/strong>, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr Ludwin Monz says: \u201eI have very much enjoyed my work at Heidelberg. I would like to thank the Supervisory Board, the management team and all of the company's employees for their excellent cooperation.\u201c<\/p>\n

J\u00fcrgen Otto brings with him decades of experience in the sustainable orientation of large industrial companies, including in recent years increasingly in the area of turnaround management. With regard to his forthcoming role, J\u00fcrgen Otto comments: \u201eHeidelberg is an icon of German industry with a product quality and service expertise that is valued worldwide. I am looking forward to becoming part of Heidelberg and working together with the management team led by Tania von der Goltz and David Schmedding and all employees to build a successful future for the company.\u201c<\/p>
