KROMI Logistik AG: Bernd Paulini and Axel Schubert appointed to Management Board
Hamburg, December 28, 2011 - The Supervisory Board of KROMI
Logistik AG has passed a resolution to appoint two members of
the management, Mr. Bernd Paulini and Mr. Axel Schubert, to
the company's Management Board with effect as of
January
1, 2012. The Management Board is being expanded from two to
four individuals as a consequence. Mr. Paulini will assume
the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer (COO).
As Chief Information Officer (CIO), Mr. Axel Schubert will be
responsible for the management, steering and organisation of
IT processes. With this decision, the company wishes to meet
the organisational challenges entailed in the company's
internationalisation, and to position the management level on
an even broader base for future growth. This measure will
also address the succession planning within the Management
Board at an early juncture.
New COO Bernd Paulini has worked at KROMI Logistik since
2001, and has managed the energy department as well as the
technical field work in Germany and Europe for the past 5
years. Mr. Paulini will be primarily responsible for the
technology, engineering and product areas in the future.
These will particularly include the organisation of all
production processes directly related to the cutting tools as
well as further promoting the research and development work.
"As a manager of many years' standing, Bernd
Paulini is the ideal appointment to this position. He will
also contribute his extensive expertise at Management Board
level in the future," is how KROMI's CEO Jörg
Schubert described his new Management Board colleague.
Axel Schubert will assume the other newly created position of
CIO at the start of 2012, being responsible for the
technology and innovation areas, among others. The demands
made of IT have undergone a sharp increase, especially with
the company's internationalisation. In this context,
securing permanent tool availability through our IT systems
is a central success factor for KROMI's business model.
The further development of this business department, and
compliance with legal regulations, will form part of Axel
Schubert's responsibilities. "Axel Schubert is very
familiar with our IT processes through his many years at our
company. As complexity is constantly increasing in this area,
we are taking this trend into account with the creation of a
new Management Board role," is how CFO Uwe Pfeiffer
describes the new position.
With the appointment of these new Management Board members,
KROMI Logistik is establishing possibilities at an early
stage for succession arrangements that will be necessitated
in the future: "Having been managing directors for many
years, Bernd Paulini and Axel Schubert have long been
indirect shareholders in the company
through our participating company. As Management Board
members, we are now

gradually transferring departments and responsibilities to
them, and are thereby creating the basis for the sustainable
and forward-looking development of our company," is how
Jörg Schubert concluded.
