IST METZ GmbH has repositioned itself after taking the growing business with LED UV systems into account. In May, the company acquired the majority interest in Integration Technology Ltd, and the reorganization of the management board has recently followed.
The UV market is changing with the improvements of ink curing and varnishes by means of UV LEDs. This has opened up new business areas, such as in the industrial joining technology. Offering both types of UV systems, IST METZ GmbH has further expanded the LED business this year.
Because of the greater focus on technological development, IST METZ reorganized the management board. Christian-Marius Metz, grandson of deceased company founder Gerhard Metz and previous head of the Central Area Operations & Services, has been appointed chief executive officer.
In addition, Holger Kühn has been made managing director, sales. He has been part of the company for 17 years in various functions in sales, most recently as head of the Central Area sales. Robert Sänger will complete the management board as the managing director of technology, beginning next year. Having been head of development at the subsidiary eta plus electronic GmbH, he will now join the parent company. Dirk Jägers, previous managing director of IST METZ GmbH, left the company.
“We are looking forward to running the company in the spirit of my grandfather”, says Christian-Marius Metz. “We are leading in the industry in terms of know-how in UV technology, and we will know how to make the most of it.”
