Two new members of the Board of Directors of Kistler Holding AG

Valentin Vogt, Chairman of the Board of Directors, thanked Stefan Scheiber on his departure for his dedication and his valuable contributions to the company’s development. Kistler’s intention to continue growing is reinforced by the appointment of the two new members of its Board of Directors. ‘In a globally challenging economic environment, manufacturing companies are under particular pressure. This makes it all the more pleasing for us to welcome Fabian Chiozza and Reto Bolt to the team: two experienced managers who will play key parts in the Kistler Group’s ongoing development thanks to their expertise,’ Valentin Vogt comments.
