With effect from 1 January 2026, Markus Büngers has taken over the position of CEO of HASCO Hasenclever GmbH + Co. KG. Following the departure of the long-standing CEO, Christoph Ehrlich, in the summer of 2025, Thomas Karazmann initially assumed responsibility for managing the company and, during this transition phase, ensured HASCO’s strategic continuity and operational stability.

In his previous role as Executive Vice President Finance & Administration, Markus Büngers was continuously involved in the strategic and operational aspects of all departments and thus played a decisive role in shaping the company’s ongoing global development. He stands for continuity, technical expertise and strategic reliability.
Thomas Karazmann is confident that his successor will continue to drive HASCO’s strategic development. “I am delighted that we have been able to appoint Markus Büngers as the person we absolutely wanted to take on the role of CEO. He is an experienced manager who knows HASCO very well and, thanks to his previous roles at renowned industrial companies, has extensive international management experience. With him, HASCO is in the best possible hands.”
Markus Büngers is equally optimistic about his new role: “I would like to thank everyone most sincerely for the trust they have placed in me to actively shape HASCO’s future in this important role. The challenges are great, but so is our confidence. HASCO has enormous strengths, excellent employees with a wide range of skills, and a clear, shared vision. We will consistently build on these strengths through dedicated hard work for the benefit of our customers.”
With this management change at the beginning of the year, HASCO has laid the foundations for stable, future-oriented development and, in Markus Büngers, has chosen a manager who knows the company extremely well and embodies its values.
