S\u00dcDPACK, a German producer of films for the packaging sector, has selected Thorsten Seehars as its new CEO.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He succeeds Erik Bouts, who is now retiring after managing the company for the last six years.<\/p>\n

In a press release, S\u00dcDPACK said that during Bouts\u2019 leadership, the company achieved notable milestones, including a successful reorganisation.<\/p>\n

Seehars said: \u201cI\u2019m truly excited to take on the overall responsibility at such a well-established and highly innovative company as S\u00dcDPACK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to continue the work of my predecessor, who strengthened our market position through strategic foresight and with a consistent focus on facts, figures, and results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustainability and innovation in research and development were also pivotal during Bouts\u2019 time at the helm.<\/p>\n

Bouts will remain with S\u00dcDPACK in an advisory capacity until early 2026.<\/p>\n

Seehars comes with experience in overseeing global business divisions from various technology companies.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Strategy 2030 framework aims to create a solid groundwork for its upcoming growth phase.<\/p>\n

S\u00dcDPACK managing partner Carolin Grimbache said: \u201cWe are very pleased to gain a strong leader and seasoned strategist with Thorsten Seehars \u2013 someone who will shape the long-term direction of the S\u00dcDPACK Group together with the entire team and drive it forward with fresh momentum.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming years, we will continue to face difficult geopolitical and economic conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy focusing on the advantages of a family-owned business, our innovative strength, and the dedication of our entire team, I am confident in our ability to succeed in this demanding market environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September last year, S\u00dcDPACK unveiled its new<\/a> multipeel system for sliced cheese and cold meats.<\/p>\n
