The dental technology company, Amann Girrbach announced on Aug. 2 that Jürgen Kiesel will take over the position of CEO as of August 14, succeeding Wolfgang Reim, the current CEO. Following the transition, Wolfgang Reim will continue to serve the company as a member of the supervisory board.
Kiesel has a background as CEO of a well-known international medical technology company, and he brings 17 years of dental experience to his new role as CEO.
In the news release, Kiesel said in addition to focusing on product innovation, his focus will be on expanding the company’s market presence.
“In recent years, Amann Girrbach has succeeded like no other dental company in advancing the digital workflow and as a consequence the interdisciplinary collaboration between the dental laboratory, practice laboratory and dental practice,” he said.
Kiesel said that the company’s products and solutions are of the highest relevance for dentists and dental technicians and will play an increasingly important role in the international dental market.
Targeting growth internationally as well as in core markets will form an elementary part of his strategy, he said.
Wolfgang Reim remains on supervisory board
Reim, who initially assumed the role of CEO on an interim basis in January 2020, is retiring from the management board of the dental technology company.
As mentioned above, he will move to a board position, where he will continue to support the company with his expertise. Under his management, Amann Girrbach was able to significantly expand its laboratory business in recent years and, above all, to drive forward its entry into the market with dentists. At the same time, Reim’s consistent focus on a holistic digital workflow enabled him to position Amann Girrbach as a global pioneer in the field of digital dental prosthetics.
