About one year after the business combination of manroland web systems and Goss International the newly formed company successfully completes its Post-Merger-Integration phase. The manroland Goss Group has been strategically positioned to be the leading solutions partner for all webfed printers around the world, be it Parts Solutions, Service Solutions, Engineered Solutions or System Solutions.

During the Post-Merger-Integration phase the company has realigned its product portfolio and its global footprint to the solutions partner setup. The company has been transformed into a business unit organization, each of them managed by dedicated business unit leaders. The business units are designed to support the global sales and service network of manroland Goss, comprising own market organizations and well-established agents, for the benefit of all customers.

At this stage of the company development the manroland Goss Group is announcing that it puts a scheduled leadership change into effect. Alexander Wassermann, current CEO, is taking up a career outside the printing industry. Company, shareholders and employees are very thankful for the accomplishments of Alexander Wassermann.

manroland Goss is also pleased to announce that Franz Kriechbaum was appointed new CEO by the shareholders L. Possehl and American Industrial Partners (AIP).

Franz Kriechbaum served as the Chief Operating Officer of the manroland Goss Group since 2017. Together with the manroland Goss management team he will continue to drive the company’s established and successful strategy as a reliable, stable and highly customer-oriented solutions partner for all webfed offset printers.
