June 2, 2017: CEO Patrik Wohlhauser to leave Wittur Group
Wiedenzhausen, June 2nd, 2017 – The Wittur Group (ISIN: XS1188024548, XS1188025438) announced today that the Supervisory Board and CEO Patrik Wohlhauser have mutually agreed to terminate their cooperation. Gerrit Marx, an Operating Partner at Bain Capital who has been responsible for the Wittur Group since Bain Capital first invested in the company more than two years ago, will assume Patrik Wohlhauser’s responsibilities as interim CEO with immediate effect. This will give the Supervisory Board sufficient time to find the best possible candidate for the CEO position.
Gerrit Marx has been seconded and temporarily released from his duties at Bain Capital for the duration of his assignment with Wittur. Having held various leading positions at Volkswagen and Daimler Trucks prior to joining Bain Capital, Gerrit Marx can draw on a wealth of management experience combined with in-depth expertise in the elevator industry and knowledge of the Wittur Group’s main multinational customers.
The Wittur Group remains fully committed to its strategy and its future expansion plans following the successful integration of Sematic.
