The KraussMaffei Group announces a change in the management of KraussMaffei Technologies.

 

Jörg Stech, who has played a decisive role in shaping the company's development since 2023 as Chairman of the Board of KraussMaffei Technologies and also as global head of the technology divisions of injection molding, automation, and additive manufacturing, is stepping down at his own request on March 31, 2026.

 

Dirk Musser, currently Head of Group Transformation at the parent company KraussMaffei Group, has been appointed as Managing Director to the Board to replace him.

Successful stabilization and realignment under Jörg Stech

 

Jörg Stech's tenure coincided with a challenging period in which KraussMaffei Technologies was confronted with losses and a diminishing market environment. By taking comprehensive measures to improve margins and balance sheet quality, Jörg Stech set the course for securing earnings and future viability.

 

He renewed the product portfolio for IMM and automation, starting with the LRXplus linear robot, the new fully electric PX series and the MC7 control system both launched at the end of 2025, as well as AI applications.

 

Jörg Stech also initiated another multi-year development project. Jörg Stech placed particular emphasis on tapping into new market opportunities through technological expertise, including ColorForm, and opened up new markets such as aerospace and drone applications.

 

In parallel, programs for operational excellence, price and cost quality, and capital discipline were implemented.

 

Dirk Musser as internal successor

 

Effective April 1, 2026, Dirk Musser will take over as Managing Director of KraussMaffei Technologies. He is an experienced transformation and finance manager who, in his previous role as Head of Group Transformation within the KraussMaffei Group, has already provided significant impetus for strategic development and improvement of operating results in close coordination with the managing directors of KraussMaffei Technologies. His strong analytical skills, deep understanding of processes, and international experience make him particularly well qualified for this role.

 

"Together with my fellow managing directors Dr. Frank Szimmat and Markus Bauer, I want to resolutely drive forward the further development of KraussMaffei Technologies. Our focus is on further expanding stability and performance and taking the necessary steps to successfully position the company in a dynamic market environment. I look forward to shaping this path together with our teams," said Dirk Musser.

 

The transition is seamless: the handover between Jörg Stech and Dirk Musser is already underway.
