Sebastian Seitz takes over as Chairman
Change in the management of Eplan and Cideon
Sebastian Seitz took over as CEO of Eplan and Cideon on August 1. Seitz has been with the Friedhelm Loh Group since 2013, most recently as COO at Eplan and Cideon.
Seitz had headed Cideon Systems as Managing Director since 2006, having previously held various consulting positions within the BMW Group and KPMG.
"His high level of market knowledge, his strategic vision and his deep understanding of future strategic business models in the software sector are an important prerequisite for the further development of Cideon and Eplan," says Dr. Karl-Ulrich Köhler, CEO Rittal International, on Seitz's appointment.
Dr. Köhler thanks Maximilian Brandl, who has left the company, for his high level of personal commitment and successful work over the past few years. Under his leadership, it was possible to significantly increase turnover and considerably expand strategic partnerships with software and automation providers.
