Lonza has appointed Wolfgang Wienand as its new CEO. He will join the company during the summer of 2024 and succeed Albert M. Baehny, who took on the additional responsibility of interim CEO in October 2023 while the search for a permanent CEO took place.

Baehny will remain at Lonza for a transition period during the summer, before retiring from the company.
