Management changes at Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed. On June 1, Philipp Zimmermann took over from Christoph Müller as CEO of the offset and digital web press segment of German printing press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer. He is also responsible for overall segment management, sales and product management.
Alongside him, Markus Dörr takes over as CFO of Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed. He was previously responsible for finance at the subsidiary Koenig & Bauer Industrial. Thomas Potzkai retains his position as CTO.
Christoph Müller remains a member of the Board of Directors of the Koenig & Bauer Group, and will concentrate on partnerships in digital printing.
As part of the Spotlight program, the parent company had already announced this reorganization program at the beginning of May 2024 in order to remedy the persistent loss-making situation in the Digital & Webfed segment. In recent years, the focus has shifted to inkjet, CI flexo and corrugated presses, in addition to the extended service business - also for the installed base of newspaper presses, notes the German group.
The Spotlight program also includes organizational, structural and operational measures to safeguard revenue opportunities in the flexible packaging, digital printing and corrugated board markets.
With these changes, Koenig & Bauer reinforces the independence of this segment, enabling it to react more nimbly to specific market developments.
