Althen
Change in management
Althen Mess- und Sensortechnik will be managed by Edwin Goezinne in the future. He succeeds Dr. Timo Hartmann, who was at the helm of the company in Germany for six years.
Edwin Goezinne is Managing Director of the Dutch sister company Althen Sensors & Controls BV and Relli Technology, a specialist supplier of military and civilian components, which are also part of the Althen Group. Since April, he has also been managing Althen in Germany.
Goezinne joined Althen in 2017, after almost 20 years in oil and gas filtration. He first took over the management of Relli Technology, later also that of Althen BV and became CEO and Partner within the Althen Group at the beginning of 2024. Goezinne says: "My move to the German management has no impact on the direction of our company. We have a strong management team and are sticking to the strategic direction we have chosen." Since 1978, Althen has stood for customer-specific solutions in measurement technology and sensor technology with a product range that includes standard and customer-specific sensors as well as measuring systems and measuring devices.
