Swiss manufacturer Saurer appoints Uwe Rondé as new CEO

Most recently, Rondé was the managing director of EMAG in Germany, having previously headed up the machine tool and production systems supplier’s Chinese subsidiary. He was also the CEO of Franz Kessler, one of the biggest motor spindle manufacturers in the world and of Intercontec Pfeiffer, a manufacturer of connectors. Ronde has also held the role of vice chairman on the Saurer board of directors since October 2021, Saurer said in a press release.

“We believe that Dr Rondé, with his strong technical background and extensive management experience, is the right person for the role of CEO. He will continue to drive the further development of technological innovation, product competitiveness and management, as well as the success of Saurer and future strategy,” Pan said.

“We are cautiously optimistic as the textile sector begins to show signs of recovery. I am confident that Saurer will be able to benefit tremendously from new opportunities in the coming years,” Ronde said.
