Ahrensburg (ots Ad hoc-Service) -
Ad hoc-announcement edited and sent by DGAP. The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this announcement.
The management board team of Basler AG - leading supplier of Vision Technology, the technology of artificial vision - reorganises itself in order to optimally set the company on a straight course in its further growth. Chairman of the Board Dr. Dietmar Ley (37) will be in charge of the fastest growing vision components segment (the Machine Vision Components business unit - camera business) and the Vision Systems segment (inspection systems for optical storage media, sealings, flat screens and plastic foils) as well as the overall corporate strategy, whereas Chief Financial Officer Thorsten Schmidtke (36) will be responsible for the scopes of finance, organization, investor relations, production, quality management, human resources as well as the foreign daughters. In order to fully exploit the future potentials of vision technology through the creation of leading and innovative products, former board member Bryan Hayes (33) is leaving the management board with immediate effect in order to give his undivided attention to the management of the Research & Technology sector.
This reorganization of the management board ensures an improved basis for competetive edges through innovative products. Over and above that this will pave the way for a reorientation in the highly successful business units (inspection systems for optical storage media and sealings) towards a consistent profit maximization and in the younger business units (camera business, inspection systems for flat screens and plastic foils) towards maximum sales and EBIT growth rates.
