"We are convinced that in Peter Schneck we have found an internationally experienced and highly qualified successor for the position of Chief Executive Officer of CENIT AG.

"The Supervisory Board honors Kurt Bengel's many years of service to CENIT's success, his high level of expertise and his extraordinary personal commitment to this cause. We wish to express our deep gratitude for his dedication and wish him the very best in his future endeavors. Or, to be absolutely clear: Without Kurt Bengel, CENIT would not exist in its present-day size and orientation", says Rainer-Christian Koppitz in the name of the company.
