Board of Directors (Appointments and Changes)
The Supervisory Board of Semperit AG Holding and the long-standing Chief
Technical Officer of the company, Richard Ehrenfeldner, have reached a mutual
agreement on terminating Ehrenfeldner's board activity as of 15 April 2017.
As previously reported, Michele Melchiorre has gradually assumed the tasks as
CTO of Semperit AG Holding from Richard Ehrenfeldner since 1 June 2016. The
transfer process has been completed now after the closing of the agreement with
Sri Trang.
Ehrenfelder joined Semperit in 1989 and has been a member of the Management
Board of Semperit AG Holding since October 2001. After many years as CTO,
Ehrenfeldner was responsible for the Medical Sector from June 2016 to December
2016 and most recently played a significant role in terminating almost all joint
venture activities with the Sri Trang Group. At this point, Veit Sorger,
Chairman of the Supervisory Board, would like to thank Richard Ehrenfeldner for
the long-standing cooperation.
As of 1 June 2017, the members of the Management Board of Semperit AG Holding
will therefore be Martin Füllenbach (CEO), Frank Gumbinger (CFO) and Michele
Melchiorre (CTO).
