Managing Board at machine manufacturer
Hörner-Marass ends chairmanship of the Managing Board at Manz
Eckhard Hörner-Marass will leave the Managing Board of Manz AG, Reutlingen, at his own request at the end of 2018.
Mr. Hörner-Marass has been a member of the Management Board since October 2016 and its Chairman since July 2017 and today agreed with the Supervisory Board to shorten his term of office, which originally ran until December 31, 2019, by one year. He started as CRO and was responsible for the restructuring and realignment of the Manz Group, which still falls under his Management Board remit today.
The earlier than expected achievement of the milestones agreed with the Supervisory Board allows for an early structured handover to the new Management Board team.
As announced by the company, the Supervisory Board regrets the departure of Mr. Hörner-Marass, thanks him warmly for his commitment and successful work for the benefit of the company and its employees and wishes Mr. Hörner-Marass all the best for his personal and professional future. The Supervisory Board intends to appoint Management Board member Martin Drasch as the future Chairman of the Management Board.
