Change at top management level

The Executive Board of the Endress+Hauser Group (Switzerland) has seen a change. With immediate effect, two experienced managers have been appointed as members of the Group’s top management body: Dr Gerhard Jost will be in charge of Production, Matthias Altendorf of Innovation. Torsten Knoch, until recently responsible for Production and Technology, will leave the company.

With their appointment to the Executive Board, Dr Gerhard Jost and Matthias Altendorf will advance the strategic development of the Group. They will both keep their respective positions as Managing Directors of Endress+Hauser’s two major production centers: Dr Gerhard Jost will continue to head the flow measurement engineering manufacturer Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG in Reinach, Switzerland, while Matthias Altendorf stays in charge of Endress+Hauser GmbH+Co. KG in Maulburg, Germany, specialising in level and pressure measurement engineering.

“We are sorry that Mr Knoch leaves our company. Our thanks and best wishes accompany him in the future,” said CEO Klaus Endress. He stressed: “We have found a quick, pragmatic and good solution for his succession, making sure that these important tasks are managed without interruption. Both Dr Jost and Mr Altendorf have superior technical and managerial competence. They know our Group and have many years of experience.”
