Koenig & Bauer is advancing the restructuring of the company announced in November 2024.
The new segment structure, which reduces the number of segments from three to two, is being implemented successively. On 1 December 2024, Christian Steinmaßl assumed leadership of various areas within the Special & New Technologies segment, and the Paper & Packaging Sheetfed Systems segment has been under the responsibility of Markus Weiß since 1 February 2025. He succeeds Ralf Sammeck, who will retire in June 2025. Both are members of the Group Management and represent their respective segments.
As part of the strategic realignment, Christoph Müller has announced that he will step down from his position as a member of the Executive Board on 31 March 2025, at his own request, as part of the generational change. This is a further step in the planned reduction of the Executive Board from initially five to two members in the future.
Already in the middle of 2024, Müller handed over the position of CEO of Digital & Webfed AG & Co. KG to Philipp Zimmermann in order to focus more on the expansion of technologies and partnerships in the field of digital printing as a member of the Executive Board. To continue to leverage his many years of expertise and the international network of customers and partners that has grown over decades for Koenig & Bauer, he will support Koenig & Bauer as an Executive Advisor in the future.
