Stäubli Group
Gerald Vogt becomes new CEO
Stäubli is starting the new year with a new CEO. Gerald Vogt, previously responsible for the global business in the Robotics division, will take over as CEO on January 1 from Rolf Strebel, who is retiring.
With Vogt, an experienced manager from within the company's own ranks is taking over the management of the successfully growing family business. The Franco-German graduate engineer and business economist has been responsible for the global robotics business as Group Division Manager since mid-2016 and is already a member of the Group Executive Board.
In order to ensure a smooth transition and to prepare him for his future tasks as CEO, the Stäubli Board of Directors nominated Gerald Vogt as the designated successor to Rolf Strebel at the beginning of 2020. Since then, Gerald Vogt has been supporting the current CEO and is responsible for the introduction and implementation of the new business strategy for Stäubli until 2030.
"We are delighted to have found in Gerald Vogt a forward-looking executive with extensive international experience and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, who is already very well connected within the Group. He has our full confidence to further drive the business of the entire Stäubli Group worldwide," said Yves Serra, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Stäubli Group. "On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and the Stäubli family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rolf Strebel for his more than 40 years of commitment to Stäubli and his outstanding work over the past 14 years at the helm of the Stäubli Group. We wish him all the best for the time ahead," adds Serra.
Christophe Coulongeat will assume global responsibility for the Robotics division on January 1, 2021. The French manager has been Deputy Division Manager in Robotics since 2018 and previously gained extensive experience in the packaging and automation industry in France, Austria, the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland.
