Leadership transition at Peter Greven marks new era
After 35 remarkable years with Peter Greven GmbH & Co. KG, including 15 years as a member of the management board, Dr. Hermann Josef Stolz has retired as managing director, marking the end of an era. Throughout his tenure, Stolz significantly influenced production, quality management, development, and engineering, leaving a lasting legacy. The responsibility for production was transferred within the board several years ago, ensuring a seamless transition.
To prepare for the leadership shift, Carsten Rader joined the management board at the start of 2024, taking responsibility for the engineering department. Effective immediately, Dr. Martina Mennicken-Meuthen has been appointed as a new member of the management board, overseeing quality management and development.
Mennicken-Meuthen brings nearly 20 years of expertise within the company, having led the quality management division since 2007. Her responsibilities span quality control, product safety, regulatory compliance, and application technology, showcasing her dedication and comprehensive knowledge.
The company celebrates the appointments of two longstanding team members to the management board. Carsten and Martina’s commitment and expertise are expected to play a pivotal role in the continued success and evolution of the organisation.
