New corporate strategy, new management

From now on, there are four independent business units covering the respective product segments. “We are convinced that this model is more efficient and that the individual divisions will be able to react much faster and more targeted to individual customer requirements in the future”, Jürgen Schröer, CEO of the Bürkle Group, describes the intention. He has been assisted by Martin Meister since the beginning of 2023, who, in addition to managing the commercial areas, will also focus on the global further development and digitalisation of the company.
