Andreas Pleßke has been appointed as the management board spokesman for Koenig & Bauer, effective from 1 January 2021. He will replace Claus Bolza-Schünemann, who will leave the board on 31 December 2020 after reaching the designated retirement age.
Mr Bolza-Schünemann has spent 28 years with the company, including nine years as CEO and President. Mr Pleßke, whose appointment means Koenig & Bauer has once again filled its top board position from within its own ranks, will remain in the position until the end of 2025
‘The leadership of Claus Bolza-Schünemann, the great-great-great-grandson of the company founder, has allowed the management team at Koenig & Bauer to develop and implement far-sighted strategies. He has guided the company with foresight and sound judgement, also bringing it through times of uncertainty,’ said Raimund Klinkner, chairman of the supervisory board of Koenig & Bauer.
