Martin Boelter Appointed Chief Operating Officer of Klingelnberg

September 8, 2015

Klingelnberg recently announced the appointment of Martin Boelter as chief operating officer. Boelter will assume responsibility for the production and logistics divisions within the Klingelnberg Group. A four-member senior management team is now once again at the helm at Klingelnberg.

In his capacity as the new chief operating officer (COO), Boelter is now part of the senior management in the group, together with Jan Klingelnberg (CEO), Christoph Küster (CFO) and Dr. Hartmuth Müller (CTO). Due to this reinforcement, resources are now available to accelerate the growth on the international stage and further strengthen its market position.

“We are delighted to have gained a highly experienced manager in Martin Boelter,” said Jan Klingelnberg, who also serves as chairman of the supervisory board at Klingelnberg GmbH. “His knowledge and experience will drive our company's continued growth.”

Boelter, who studied mechanical engineering at Munich Technical University, was most recently employed as COO in the Sterling SIHI Group.

“I like having the opportunity to build upon a valuable history,” Boelter said. “What I find particularly exciting about Klingelnberg is the combination of corporate values that are part of the daily experience: The stability of a traditional family-run business with deep roots in the region on the one hand – and the international presence and dynamism of a global market leader on the other. Against this backdrop, I am enthusiastically looking forward to working together with the company to meet the challenges of the coming years.”

In his previous management positions, Boelter always attached great importance to working closely with employees in all growth and development processes to ensure that everyone could find ways to achieve success together.
