Christian Thönes resigned from his position as CEO today due to different strategic ideas. His contract was terminated by mutual agreement during an extraordinary supervisory board meeting.

Christian Thönes clears the way for a personnel realignment, which will also take even greater account of the technical focus around machine tools in the sense of technology and automation of DMG MORI AG.

The Supervisory Board would like to thank Christian Thönes in particular for his many years of successful leadership of the company and his tireless commitment. It wishes him every success and happiness for the future.

Mr. Alfred Geißler was unanimously appointed as the new CEO of DMG MORI AG.
