Georg Bretthauer has been a member of the Supervisory Board since its constitution in 2002. “We wish to thank Mr Bretthauer for the valuable contributions he has made during his long service. He has always brought us new and important input, particularly in the field of technology,” said Klaus Endress, President of the Supervisory Board. Georg Bretthauer (68), who holds a PhD in engineering, headed the Applied IT and Automation Engineering faculty at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Germany.
The Annual General Meeting of Endress+Hauser AG elected Hans Jakob Roth as successor on 4 May 2015.
