Nabaltec_E_GB2016

FOREWORD OF THE CEO 05 Customer satisfaction continues to be of central importance in everything we do. As a result, it is particularly important for us to maintain supplies to our customers in the US without interruption. As a result, we work every day to align all of our operations even more closely to customer requirements. Recent examples include the expansion of our research and development activities by concentrating development, application engineering as well as plant and process development at the Schwandorf site. As part of our innovation strategy, and in an effort to become even more focused on customer requirements and applications, we have been moving forward since last year on the expansion of three testing facilities at the Schwandorf site, for extrusion, ceramics and fillers, in which e.g. new products are manufactured in small batches of 10 to 100 kilograms and subjected to application testing. At the end of 2016, my worthy colleague Gerhard Witzany entered a well-deserved retirement. Together, we were able to build up Nabaltec AG over the past 22 years into one of the leading companies in our sector. For this, he deserves our thanks and best wishes for the future. The new composition of the Management Board sends a clear signal of continuity. The new Management Board consists of three members. The Supervisory Board has appointed Günther Spitzer and Dr. Michael Klimes to serve alongside me, two colleagues who have already served in execu- tive positions at Nabaltec for many years, during which time they have demonstrated their ability to lead the company and to improve it so that we can continue to hold a leading position in our markets in the future. I look forward to working with them and I can promise you that we will continue to work every day with a high degree of consistency to make Nabaltec even better. Schwandorf, March 2017 Yours, JOHANNES HECKMANN CEO Annual Report 2016 | Nabaltec AG ||||
