Takuya Ichii hands over operational management to Reto Adam
New CEO at Big Kaiser
Big Kaiser, provider of tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industry, announces a change at management level: Takuya Ichii will hand over operational management to Reto Adam on February 1, 2019.
Reto Adam has been with the company as Operations Manager since 2015, during which time he has become very familiar with the company and its internal processes. He has extensive management experience from his previous position as Managing Director at Sulzer Markets and Technology in Winterthur.
"The change at the top is intended to initiate the next round of strengthening the company. Thanks to a team of loyal and committed employees, I have been able to help shape Big Kaiser over the past two years," says Takuya Ichii. "The handover of management to Reto Adam gives us the opportunity to continue to respond quickly to the changing requirements of the agile market and to remain the technology and market leader in the precision tools sector."
The 40-year-old Takuya Ichii started his career at the parent company Big Daishowa Seiki in 2004. His move to Switzerland in 2013 greatly expanded the collaboration with the Japanese company and strengthened the communicative and professional exchange between the two countries.
Takuya Ichii will remain with the company in the position of Chief of Business Development and will therefore work more intensively and in close cooperation with Big Daishowa Seiki on the strategic direction of the company. Together with Reto Adam, CEO and Gaby Vuilleumier, CFO, he will form the new Executive Management.
