Bizerba expands board

The current development of the technology company Bizerba is gratifying in every respect. The company is on a solid growth path and will consistently pursue this in the interests of all stakeholders. Bizerba is now present in 120 countries, has 40 subsidiaries and several production sites worldwide, employs around 4.500 people and generates around 800 million euros in sales Year. Impressive facts. With this, Bizerba has reached the size of an internationally operating group. That calls for global thinking and acting. The dynamics of digital transformation generally pose major challenges for companies and, as an innovation leader, opens up enormous opportunities for Bizerba. The corporate environment is extremely agile, expectations of the customer experience are increasing and Bizerba has to live agility in order to meet its requirements and maintain its growth path. These framework conditions have a direct influence on the management of Bizerba. A high level of attention, quick strategic decisions and their consistent implementation are required. Therefore, in coordination with the Supervisory Board, the shareholders decided to expand the Executive Board level at the beginning of 2022 to include the Executive Board departments CFO, CTO / COO and CSO. By bundling responsibilities, Bizerba achieves the agility that is indispensable for future growth.

Strategic alignment, digitization and employees are top priority
The partner Andreas W. Kraut has been a member of the management board since 2009 and has been its chairman since 2011. In his role as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Management, he will continue to shape the company's strategic direction in the future. The focus is on the healthy growth of the company. His area of ​​responsibility includes digitization, the development of new business models - especially in the area of ​​software - and human resources. In the future, Andreas W. Kraut will continue to be responsible for global service and sales issues and will thus be in charge of the CSO area in personal union.

Company goal: increase profitability
Increasing profitability and efficiency are important corporate goals, anchored in Strategy 2025, among other things. The shareholder Angela Kraut, previously Vice President Finance, Controlling & Quality and managing director of the subsidiary Bizerba Financial Services GmbH, will take over the newly created CFO board department. The corporate divisions Finance, Controlling, Quality and Purchasing are their responsibility. Among other things, it controls all those activities that contribute to increasing the profitability of the entire company.

Efficiency from product development to delivery
Overall responsibility for the product development and delivery process, from product development to delivery to customers, will in future be bundled in the newly created CTO / COO division. Thomas Schoen, who has been with the company since 2015 and has been responsible for all development activities as Vice President Engineering since 2019, will be responsible for this department as a member of the Management Board from January 2022. By combining the development, operations and supply chain activities in one area, the interfaces between the individual disciplines should be optimized, synergies increased and efficiency increased along the entire value chain.

Family business stands for stability and long-term growth
The chairman of the supervisory board, Dr. Eberhardt Veit, on the expansion of the Executive Board: “In the best year in the company's history, we are setting the course for the continuation of our success. Building on the outstanding work of Mr. Andreas Kraut as CEO over many years, we are expanding the board with Ms. Angela Kraut as CFO and Mr. Thomas Schoen as CTO / COO. In keeping with the huge opportunities, I would like to express it in the language of digitization: Bizerba is hereby “programmed” for long-term success.

In addition, the shareholder, CEO and chairman of the board, Andreas W. Kraut, explains the new organizational set-up of the family-run company as the right and logical step that will further strengthen the stability and growth of Bizerba. “The newly created structure will help us to achieve our long-term goals in the areas of profitability, technology, sales and digitization. Our more than 4.500 employees worldwide are the key to success, ”says Andreas W. Kraut. "The goal of the Kraut shareholder family and myself personally is to successfully lead Bizerba into the next generation". Until then, the innovative strength and market position of the company can be further expanded on the basis of the path that has already been taken very successfully in recent years.
