Management changes at Multivac

Guido Spix is leaving his position as joint group president of Multivac on December 31, 2022. From January 1, 2023, Christian Traumann will preside over the company as group president and spokesperson for the management team.

“The Supervisory Board greatly appreciates the many years of successful work and commitment by Guido Spix for Multivac, and it would like to express its thanks on behalf of all the company’s owners,” says Elmar Fischer, chair of the Supervisory Board at Multivac. “We have complete respect for his personal reasons. We wish him all the very best for the future.”

Guido Spix will remain associated with the company and its owners on an amicable basis, and he will continue to offer advice in the future.

With the imminent departure of Guido Spix, and in the light of the gratifying growth of the Multivac Group, the Supervisory Board has taken the decision to establish the structure of the group’s management on a broader basis. Therefore, three new directors have been appointed to the management team. They Bernd Höpner (CTO), Dr Christian Lau (COO) and Dr Tobias Richter (CSO).

“I am delighted that we have been able to fill the new management positions from our own ranks. This enables us to secure the continuity with our customers and business partners as the basis for further successful development of our business,” says Traumann.
