Dr. Andreas Hettich (50), a fourth-generation shareholder, will be moving from the operational management of Hettich Holding GmbH & Co. oHG to the Advisory Board of the Hettich Group on 1 January 2020.

After almost 20 years in the operative business, 13 of which as Chairman of the Management Board, Dr. Hettich will in future concentrate on the strategic management of the Group and act as a link between shareholders and management. As majority shareholder, he will continue to represent the Hettich Group to customers and the public.

Hettich Holding is managed equally by Jana Schönfeld (41) and Sascha Groß (46), both successful members of the previous management.

Dr. Andreas Hettich comments: “In recent years, we have consistently geared the Hettich Group to profitable growth and created the organisational conditions for this. The entire Hettich team is working intensively worldwide to develop the organisation further towards greater individual responsibility through new ways of working together. I am pleased to know that the Group is in good hands and will actively accompany this path out of the advisory board. Together, we are well prepared for the challenges of the future”.
