After 17 successful years at the helm of the long-established Alfeld-based company Fagus-GreCon, Uwe Kahmann will step down as managing director on June 30 by mutual agreement with the shareholders.
The company said that over the 17 years, Mr Kahmann has significantly contributed to the company’s successful development and almost tripled its turnover. Under his leadership, the company has become much more international while strengthening its market leadership in its core fire prevention and measuring technology businesses.
With entrepreneurial foresight, he has driven the introduction of technical innovations to international markets in recent years and actively supported several restructuring measures.
“I would like to thank the shareholders for the trust and support they have shown me,” said Mr Kahmann.
“‘I would especially like to thank the more than 700 employees worldwide for their committed, team-orientated co-operation. It has been an honour and a pleasure to lead Fagus-GreCon successfully through challenging but mostly aspiring times over the past 17 years.”
Shareholder Ernst Greten said Mr Kahmann deserved “unreserved recognition”.
Mr Kahmann will have an arrangement where he will continue to be available in an advisory capacity if required.
From July 1, Fagus-GreCon will return to a two-person management team of Alexander Kuppe and Mario Haas.
The expansion of the first and second management levels will also support strategic expansion, further internationalisation, and strengthening of other application areas.
