Klaus Engel, Chairman of the Executive Board, compliments Kullmann, who could become his designated successor: “I highly recommended Christian Kullmann as a Board Member at the time, and I now recommend him equally highly as my deputy. He stands for continuity and dependability towards employees, customers and investors. We will continue along our successful path in the same spirit of trusting cooperation.”
