"I am very pleased to be able to shape the future of FIBRO.

"With Dr Eikötter we have found an experienced manager with strong expertise in global distribution of high-technology products and production technology. We are pleased to welcome Dr Eikötter to our team and to be able to use his expert knowledge for our group of companies, ”says Klemens Schmiederer, CEO of LÄPPLE AG. “At the same time, we would like to thank Mr. Gurt for his achievements at FIBRO GmbH. With his many years of experience within the LÄPPLE Group, he will further develop our international organizational structure and the personnel processes.

In the course of the change of managing director, the business areas FIBRO standard parts and FIBRO rotary tables are organizationally separated. With Mr. Joachim Krischke, the previous division manager of FIBRO rotary tables takes over the global management of the business division and is therefore the contact person for all topics in this division.
