Dieffenbacher Energy GmbH was formed at the beginning of the year from the acquisition of BERTSCHenergy, based in Bludenz, Western Austria. Mr Lashofer thus takes over the management of the newly established Energy Business Unit at Dieffenbacher.
“I very much look forward to the tasks ahead of me and, above all, to work with the highly motivated team at Dieffenbacher Energy,” he said.
Mr Lashofer previously worked for the Austrian Andritz Group for more than 35 years. As senior vice president and global division manager, his most recent responsibilities there included recovered paper treatment, fiberboard (MDF) and recycling.
“The fact that we have won over such an experienced management personality as Mr. Lashofer gives Dieffenbacher Energy further tailwind,” said Dieffenbacher CFO Volker Kitzelmann.
