ad-hoc disclosure transmitted by euro adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
After 43 years with Rosenbauer, 30 of them at the company´s helm as its CEO, Julian Wagner will be retiring from the Executive Board for health reasons at the end of September 2011. The Supervisory Board has decided to appoint Dr. Dieter Siegel as the next CEO.
With his great personal commitment and entrepreneurial initiative, Julian Wagner has been instrumental in driving Rosenbauer´s transformation from a small export-orientated firm with annual revenues of 72 Mio Euro (1981) into an exchange-listed global-playing Group posting revenues of 596 Mio Euro. Rosenbauer today is one of the world´s leading manufacturers of fire-fighting vehicles.
Among the key steps taken in the course of his career which paved the way for the company´s successful development were its clear strategic positioning as a manufacturer of fire-fighting equipment; systematically building up its globe-spanning sales system; turning itself from a KG´ (partnership under a legal name) into an exchange-listedAG´ (joint-stock company); internationalization of the Group, marked by its entry into the US and other markets; the decision to build itself into a `full-liner´ by taking over the aerials manufacturer Metz Aerials, and developing the Group to become the sector´s technological and innovational leader, with many new developments to its name in all its lines of business.
As previously announced, Executive Board Member Manfred Schwetz will also be retiring at the end of September 2011. This means that the Executive Board of Rosenbauer International AG will thenceforth be made up of Robert Kastil (CFO) and Gottfried Brunbauer (CTO), alongside Dr. Dieter Siegel as CEO.
Besides his responsibilities as Executive Board Chairman (CEO), Dieter Siegel will be in charge of the Specialty Vehicles and Fire & Safety Equipment segments, and of strategy, marketing, personnel and corporate communications. CFO Robert Kastil will continue to be responsible for finance, risk management, the information systems and investor relations. He will also be taking on responsibility for the Business Development segment and internal audit. Responsibility for technical matters, including logistics, innovation, quality and environmental management, continues to lie with CTO Gottfried Brunbauer, who is also in charge of the Municipal Vehicles, Aerials and Fire-fighting Components segments.
Julian Wagner will remain closely associated with Rosenbauer, continuing to assist the company in various matters, in a consulting capacity.
