Effective Jan. 1, 2017, Dr. Martin Schreer (on right in photo) and Andreas Jastrzembowski (on left in photo) will become the new managing directors of Mitsubishi HiTec Paper Europe GmbH, Germany. They succeed Gerhard Schoon (center in photo), who is retiring at the end of 2016. 

 

 

After 38 years of working for the company, including four years as mill manager and eight years as managing director, Schoon, a versatile industry expert who has led the company with great commitment and great recognition, is leaving the Bielefeld-based specialty paper manufacturer. 

Dr. Schreer will become the technical managing director. He has been with Mitsubishi HiTec Paper since 2012, and is currently director of research and development, following a career spanning more than 24 years in R&D of the production and processing of specialty papers. 

Jastrzembowski (59) will become the commercial managing director. He has been with Mitsubishi HiTec Paper since 1985, and is currently director of human resources IT and administration. During his career, he has successfully fulfilled a number of different functions in production, personnel, administration, Real Estate GmbH, and IT. 

"I am very pleased that we were able to fill the positions of managing directors from within our own ranks," said Schoon. "This ensures the continuity of our successful business policy and consistent market orientation."
