Moritz Netzsch has gained international experience in renowned companies and has prepared himself intensively for his role as new Managing Director for the past year.

The change in personnel has no impact on the chosen course and strategic objectives of the Netzsch Group, which again expects a successful and economically stable Fiscal Year 2018/19.
