Hanover, June 1, 2018 - Nothing is as constant as change: the new
appointments to the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board of Viscom AG
take effect. After more than 34 years of corporate growth, Volker Pape,
co-founder and previous Executive Board member responsible for Sales,
Marketing and International Business, was elected to the Supervisory Board
of Viscom AG by vote of the Annual General Meeting on May 30, 2018.
Furthermore, in its constituent meeting today, the Supervisory Board
appointed Professor Dr. Michèle Morner as the new chairwoman of the
Supervisory Board. Professor Michèle Morner holds the Chair for Management,
Personnel and Decision-Making in the Public Sector at the German University
of Administrative Sciences in Speyer. She is also a member of the nominating
committee of the Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (FREP) in Berlin and
a member of the Supervisory Board of KUKA AG in Augsburg.
Professor Dr.-Ing. Ludger Overmeyer remains in his post as the third member
of the Supervisory Board. As previously announced on March 5, 2018, to allow
the Supervisory Board to make a fresh start, board members Bernd Hackmann
and Klaus Friedland resigned from their posts with effect as of the closing
of this year's annual general meeting. "Viscom is a one-of-a-kind success
story. With a strong entrepreneurial spirit and strategic vision, Volker
Paper and Dr. Martin Heuser have turned Viscom into what it is today: a
global leader for optical inspection systems with a strong presence on all
international markets. With the new appointments to the Supervisory Board
and the Executive Board, the founders have again showed their foresight and
sense of responsibility toward the company," comments Bernd Hackmann.
With effect as of today, Carsten Salewski and Peter Krippner take up their
new positions on the Executive Board. Together with the co-founder and board
member for Corporate Development, Dr. Martin Heuser, and CFO Dirk Schwingel,
they complete the new Executive Board.
Carsten Salewski is an electrical engineer who joined Viscom in 1993. His
previous responsibilities have included the IBV business section and he has
been Managing Director of the US subsidiary headquartered in Atlanta since
2004. He is the Chairman of the IPC SMEMA Council within the IPC, a major US
association for the electronics industry, and he has served as an honorary
board member of the German American Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta since
2015. Carsten Salewski will take over responsibility for Sales, Marketing
and International Business on the Executive Board.
Peter Krippner is likewise an electrical engineer who joined Viscom in 1988.
He took over as head of the software development in 1995, and assumed
responsibility for projects and applications in the solder joint inspection
section in 1998. In 2001, he was appointed head of the Serial Production
(SP) business section, which he managed until yesterday. Peter Krippner will
now take over executive responsibility for Operations.
"Viscom AG's strategy will continue to focus on profitable growth through
innovation and technological leadership. In the future, we shall continue to
dedicate ourselves to a clear, growth-oriented course. The basis of our
success are our customers, whom we want to continue to inspire with
innovative solutions, while boosting our acquisition of new customers, and
first and foremost expanding our presence in future-oriented segments. With
the new appointments to the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board,
Viscom AG has established an excellent managerial basis to achieve our set
goals and to continue along the path of corporate development," summarizes
