Michael Grosse.
Processing and packaging technology supplier Syntegon Technology has appointed Michael Grosse as chief executive officer.
The announcement comes weeks after the company changed its name from Bosch Packaging Technology following its acquisition by CVC Capital Partners from Bosch last year.
Most recently, Michael Grosse was a member of the management board of Tetra Pak. Syntegon said he has relevant leadership and management experience in the international mechanical engineering industry, particularly in the areas of process and packaging technology for the food industry.
Grosse, who will take up his post on 1 March 2020, will succeed Stefan Koenig, who spent 24 years working for the Bosch Group, ten of which at Bosch Packaging or Syntegon Technology. He has led the company as CEO since 2017.
“We are very pleased to have won Dr Michael Grosse, an extremely experienced and successful manager, for Syntegon Technology,” said Marc Strobel, chairman of the supervisory board of Syntegon Technology.
“Almost two decades of management experience in the packaging machinery industry and an international industry network are excellent prerequisites to further advance the successful development of Syntegon Technology.
“At the same time, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Stefan Koenig. He has done Syntegon Technology a great service – under his leadership, the company has not only become independent but also more profitable and more competitive.”
Michael Grosse added: “I am very much looking forward to my new position at Syntegon Technology. Because of its high standards in quality as well as its long tradition, Syntegon Technology is an outstanding company in the packaging industry. Together with the Syntegon Technology team, I will particularly focus on further improving customer satisfaction and profitability.
“In addition, we want to offer our customers even more innovative and sustainable packaging solutions in the future and make full use of the opportunities offered by digitalisation.”
Headquartered in Waiblingen, Germany, Syntegon posted €1.3 billion in sales in 2019.
