The supervisory board of Heidelberg has appointed Dr Ludwin Monz as the new CEO to succeed Rainer Hundsdörfer. Ludwin Monz will take over at the start of the new financial year on April 1, 2022.

‘The supervisory board of Heidelberg would like to thank Rainer Hundsdörfer for his extraordinary commitment as CEO of the company. He has succeeded in steering the company successfully through the Covid-19 crisis, while at the same time setting the course for further strategic development and establishing new business such as e-mobility,’ said Dr Martin Sonnenschein, chairman of the supervisory board.

Rainer Hundsdörfer said, ‘These have been very challenging years. We successfully defied the pandemic and strategically realigned Heidelberg through our successful transformation. I am proud to be part of the family. I wish my successor Ludwin Monz a good start to the new financial year and continued success.’

Dr Ludwin Monz is chairman of the management board of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG until the end of December 31, 2021.

Looking ahead to his new role, he commented: ‘For me, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG is a flagship of German mechanical engineering. I see enormous potential for the future in the broad expertise of its employees, its widely branched global organization, and its long established brand.’

In addition, it is planned to extend the management board contract with CFO Marcus A Wassenberg until 2027 as scheduled. With this decision, Heidelberg is relying on continuity with regard to the financial stability achieved and the strategic realignment initiated by the successful transformation.
