Management increased

The Cologne-based company Igus is expanding its management team, which now consists of five people.

The new Igus Managing Directors Gerhard Baus, New Businesses, Michael Blass, e-chain systems, Tobias Vogel, plain bearings & linear technology, and Artur Peplinski, igus International, complete the management team around Frank Blase. Each of the new managing directors is responsible for a product area worldwide; one of them will expand the companies locally. "This is unusual and at the same time corresponds to our 'solar system organization', where the focus is on the customer as a source of energy," says Frank Blase.

At the same time, Blase appointed three new authorized signatories for the Cable, Assembly and Linear Technology & Low Cost Automation product areas. There are also five new authorized signatories for Production, Purchasing and Human Resources, who will complement the colleagues for IT and Finance.
