Change of leadership at Messring
New management
After many years of successful work as Managing Director at Messring, the leading company in the development and manufacture of crash test technologies, Dierk Arp is taking his well-deserved retirement. In his almost 30 years as Managing Director, Arp has decisively shaped the company and led it to its current success.
Born in Kiel, he has not only driven Messring's expansion into international markets, but has also strengthened the company's innovative power. His tireless commitment and strategic foresight have made Messring a pioneer in vehicle safety.
The outgoing Managing Director commented: "It has been an extraordinary journey to lead Messring while driving the development of pioneering technologies for vehicle safety. I am proud of what we have achieved and hand over the helm and an impressive team into the capable hands of my successors."
With immediate effect, Messring's management will be taken over by an experienced board of five managers around the new Managing Director Florian Lenz. Together, they will be responsible for the future development of the company.
Florian Lenz, Managing Director of Messring, says on behalf of the management: "We are pleased that we can form the new management team entirely from internal experts and thank Dierk Arp not only for his many years of service, but especially for his trust in passing the baton on to us."
The new management team is ready to continue Messring's success story and lead the company into the next era. The outgoing and new management teams would like to thank Messring's employees, customers and partners for their continued support and look forward to the future together.
Dierk Arp will continue to support Messring in an advisory role in the future, contributing his many years of experience and in-depth expertise.
