Thus I am looking forward to this task and to collaborating with the many dedicated employees. I've supported our company in recent years on the Supervisory Board and was able to witness a lot of positive changes here. And now I would like to make my contribution to completing the restructuring and taking premium AEROTEC to a new level."
