August 23, 2012 - Germany

As of January 1, 2013, Andreas Joehle (51) joins the Management Board as another ordinary member.

On July 1, 2013, he will take over as CEO from Dr. Rinaldo Riguzzi (65), who is then going to retire after about nine years of successfully leading the Hartmann Group.

“We are pleased to have recruited Mr. Andreas Joehle, a competent, internationally experienced leader, with whom we will be able to continue the extremely successfully shaped, positive development of the Hartmann Group,” states Fritz-Jürgen Heckmann, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Paul Hartmann Ag.

It is intended to put Dr. Riguzzi forward as a candidate for election onto the Supervisory Board as an ordinary member after his resignation from the Management Board.

At present Joehle is responsible as President for the Surgical Division at the international Mölnlycke Health Care Group and has previously been in executive roles at 3M, Coloplast, and Medtronic International.
