The entire Hettich team around the world is working intensively to move the organisation forward in order to increase autonomy through new collaborative approaches. I am delighted to leave the group in such good hands and will actively engage from my position on the Advisory Board in pursuing this goal.  Working together, we will be well equipped to meet future challenges.
