Dear Employees,
My contract as the Managing Director of Schunk will expire on October 31st this year, and I have made the decision not to renew it. I believe that now is an appropriate time to step down. After 25 years at Schunk, I will then be flexible to spend more time with my family, sports and other hobbies.
In close coordination with the Ludwig Schunk foundation, the Schunk Supervisory Board selected Mr. Manolopoulos as my successor as CEO of Schunk. With Mr. Manolopoulos’ extensive knowledge of the business, having been with the company for 10 years, his appointment will ensure continuity and a smooth transition.
The Supervisory Board is currently searching for a suitable candidate to succeed Mr. Manolopoulos as the COO of Schunk, responsible for the Division Machinery and Equipment. Until October 31st, all responsibilities and operations will remain unchanged, giving us ample time to arrange a handover process with great care.
Best regards,
Dr. Arno Roth
