Thomas Christoffel Appointed to Be the New CEO of Hatebur
Since 1st June 2015, Thomas Christoffel has been the new CEO at Hatebur Umformmaschinen AG. The 42-year-old mechanical engineer and long-term member of the Sales team replaces Urs Tschudin, who is moving to the Board of Directors after 40 years of employment and 11 years at the top of this longestablished company. By employing Thomas Christoffel in this role, Hatebur has again found an internal solution. Thomas Christoffel is a trained mechanic who studied to become an engineer with EMB AHSG, and he has been employed by the company since 1998. After first being employed in the area of technical customer service, this married father of two switched to the area of sales in 2005, before taking over as manager of this area at the start of 2013. An enthusiastic sailor, he ensures that the culture of this family business continues seamlessly. With extensive experience of operating abroad and a vast array of customer contacts, Hatebur has always consistently focused on customer proximity and providing outstanding services. The three subsidiaries in Germany, Japan and China contribute equally to this, for example the rapidly growing offers in the area of innovative tool technology.
