New Dual Leadership at THIEME
Friday 19. December 2008 - Personnel Changes Strengthen the Polyurethane Business
THIEME GmbH & Co KG, Teningen, Germany, announces new personal changes for the positions of technology leader and marketing leader in its polyurethane moulding business division. The functions which were previously a single position, have now been split into two new positions. This dual leadership of the polyurethane division strengthens its market presence and provides more effective support and technical development of customer projects.
Moulded polyurethane (PUR) parts have been manufactured at Thieme in Teningen for more than 30 years. Thanks to the experience of more than 4000 customer-specific applications, Thieme is in a position to comprehensively advise and support its customers – from the structural design of the product to delivery and logistics of the completed components.
In order to be equipped for the increasingly individual market and customer requirements, sales and market management will be taken over by Hartmut Buehrer starting in December 2008. Mr. Buehrer (49) has been employed by Thieme in the sales department since 1990 and possesses comprehensive PUR competence. He is assuming the tasks of Matthias Sick, who is leaving the company.
The technical management position which was also previously assigned to Matthias Sick, will be assumed by Klaus Metzger (51). As a long-time Thieme employee Klaus Metzger offers the assurance of confidently meeting the new design and technology challenges and thus setting a new course.
The new managers of sales and technology will report directly to the Thieme managing director Frank Thieme, who sees much promise in his new “double leadership”. “I am convinced that with Mr. Buehrer and Mr. Metzger we are in the best situation to strengthen and further develop our market position as technology leader in the PUR sector”.
