He is taking over the De - velopment division from CEO Dr. Stefan Engleder and will also be responsible for digitalisation on top of this. "Gerhard Dimmler has played a de - cisive role in shaping ENGEL's research and development in recent years and has made a significant contribution to ENGEL being perceived as a technol - ogy leader in global markets," as Ste - fan Engleder emphasises. "Bringing Mr Dimmler into the management team is an important step for the sustain - able implementation of our corporate strategy." There is a further change in the com - mercial division. CFO Markus Richter is leaving the company on his own request at the end of March, the end of the cur - rent fiscal year. His successor is Simon Zeilberger who is joining the ENGEL Group as Commercial Director on 1 April. Zeilberger gained extensive man - agement experience, primarily in the metal and steel industry. Most recently, he was responsible for the commercial division of a large family foundation as a member of the executive board and management and had overall respon - sibility for the industrial branch of the group of companies. "We are delighted to have gained a very experienced suc - cessor in the person of Simon Zeilberger, who is already rooted in the metal in - dustry. He will carefully shape the com - mercial agendas of the ENGEL Group," says Stefan Engleder. "We thank Mr Richter for his great commitment and our excellent and very successful coop - eration during the past five years." The Production Division will continue to be managed by JoachimMetzmach - er as CPO. As an international family business, ENGEL stands for a long-term corporate orientation. Stability as an employer combined with a high level of innova - tion as a solution provider for the in - ternational injection moulding industry characterises the group of companies. The current board changes do justice to this orientation. ENGEL www.engelglobal.com INCOE USA announced that Brodie Delemeester had be - come General Manager North America beginning January 3, 2022.
