Generation Change in the Executive Board

Beginning of May 2011, our main shareholder and managing director Helmut Kraemer has sold his major shares to the private entrepreneur Mr. Patrick Pfeiffer. The interests of the new main shareholder are based on long-term nature - this was of great importance for the successor selection. During more than 30 years Helmut Kraemer has devoted successfully his creative power and efforts to this company. Now he has retired on 30th of June 2011. For the next coming months Helmut Kraemer will still be present, however no more as managing director, but as a consulter and co-shareholder. The long-standing co-managing director Marco Bohner (Technical Director), as well as the authorized representatives Thomas Gaisser (Sales Manager) and Markus Kraemer (Commercial Manager) will continue the company's leadership together with the new Managing Director Mr. Pfeiffer. The new management team constellation will ensure a sustainable successor arrangement for motrona GmbH, so that the company will be excellently prepared and organized to face future challenges.

After successful graduation he worked for a Swiss company and developed electromechanical drive systems, which he also commissioned himself around the world. Due to his high level of commitment he was rewarded quickly to lead the entire electronics and software development. After completion of an additional EMBA study he became a member of the Management Board as 'Director Operations'. From 2009 on he filled out the challenging role of the ‘Director of Marketing, Sales and Business Development’. At the same time he advanced to the Deputy and designated successor of the CEO. Due to his enthusiasm for an independent entrepreneurship Patrick Pfeiffer decided to swap this successful job against that of an independent Managing Director for motrona GmbH. ____________________________________________________________________________________
