We are delighted to have gained an experienced and assertive manager with an established track record for GESCO. In his professional life to date, he has placed a strong focus on redesigning organisational and procedural structures while at the same time developing new business areas. It was important for us to find a CEO with an industrial background who is enthusiastic about hidden champions such as those gathered under the GESCO umbrella."

Thanks to his outstanding work over the past six years, Ralph Rumberg has made a significant contribution to this positive development and he is leaving his successor a well-positioned group of medium-sized companies, true market leaders. The Supervisory Board would like to thank him for this."
