Christian Benz takes over the chair of the managing board of Jetter AG with effect from 1 January 2014. He replaces company founder Martin Jetter, who is moving to the supervisory board. Plans are also in place to appoint Stefan Düring, head of Corporate Development at Bucher AG, as a member of the supervisory board. Dr. Michael Oltmanns will remain chairman of the supervisory board. Kurt Hauser and Theo Frank have declared their readiness to relinquish their mandates on the supervisory board.
"We have therefore completed the planned restructuring and changes at the top of the company," says Martin Jetter. "Christian Benz will continue to develop Jetter AG and further strengthen our competencies in the field of control and drive technology for industrial and mobile automation."
Christian Benz has been a member of the executive board since April 2013 and is responsible for the areas of Sales and Marketing.
"We are pursuing a clear strategy of growth. The area of industrial automation will grow on the basis of defined segments and strengthen our market shares accordingly," explains Christian Benz. "Even stronger growth is possible in our second business field of mobile automation. Major advances will be made in the next five to ten years, especially in the electrification of systems and agricultural implements.
Operating under the umbrella of the new parent company - Bucher Industries AG from Switzerland - will give us new perspectives for targeted investments. This will enable us to continue supplying the various Bucher divisions with perfect, market-appropriate products and also offer outstanding total solutions in defined market segments."
Jetter AG has been active in the field of automation technology for more than thirty years. The company develops control systems and drive solutions for mechanical and plant engineering, for process technology, as well as for mobile automation.
Jetter AG was founded by Martin Jetter in 1980 and listed on the stock exchange in 1999. Bucher AG acquired the absolute majority of shares at the end of 2013 and allocated Jetter AG to the area of Bucher Specials in November 2013.
