Chiron: Leadership crisis in Tuttlinger Maschinenbau - who is taking over now?

In the turbulent environment of the Chiron Group, there are personnel upheavals that could put the Tuttlinger mechanical engineer in a critical situation. The long -time sales director Bernd Hilgarth, who worked for the company for more than a decade, leaves the management. This was announced in a narrow message on the company website, in which it is said that he had resigned his office "in agreement with the Board of Directors". Neither the reasons for his departure nor the future strategic orientation will be specified, but the uncertainty is great. The company already introduced short-time work in September, and ten percent of the employees were initially affected, since the situation in machine and plant construction is considered tense, as [Schwaebische.de] (https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/tuttlingen/maschinenbauer-triT--Sich-von- Von-vertriebSdector-3185732) reported.

management change and challenges

The departures on the management of the management are piling up at Chiron: Within a year, the company has already lost the CEO Carsten Liske and the CFO Vanessa Hellwing. The post of the sales board now remains vacant, and so far nobody has been filled for Liske. Until further notice, the remaining management from Markus Unterstein will exist as CFO and Claus Eppler as CTO, which Hilgarth's responsibilities assume. Unterstein will confirm on May 1, 2023 CFO of the Chiron Group, such as chiron-group.com. His extensive experience in the financing could be crucial to get the company on course.

The Chiron Group has tried to increase their market position through acquisitions of companies such as Greidenweis and HSTEC. Despite these measures, sales development remains unclear, since the goals for 2024 to achieve sales of 500 million euros are against an uncertain economic background. The future of the Chiron Group depends on strategic decisions and the stability of the new management structure at a time when the mechanical engineering industry faces significant challenges.
