Press release
H&R AG appoints Detlev Wösten as its Chief Production Officer (CPO)
Salzbergen, 4 August 2011. In order to improve its technical expertise, H&R
AG expanded its management team and appointed Detlev Wösten as Chief
Production Officer (CPO) and deputy member of the Executive Board. He is
responsible for the company's production and technology segments with
immediate effect.
Mr Wösten previously worked as the managing director of the refinery in
Hamburg. The experience he has gained through the variety of positions he
has held at the refineries in Salzbergen and Hamburg make the qualified
engineer ideally suited for increasing H&R AG's profitability together with
the other members of the Executive Board.
After graduating as an engineer, Mr Wösten began his career working for
Lurgi AG in Frankfurt am Main as a process engineer in plant engineering.
Since joining the H&R Group in 2001, he worked as the manager and
authorised representative of the refinery in Salzbergen between 2005 and
2008 before taking charge of the Hamburg plant in 2009.
'I am really looking forward to the new challenges and responsibilities. I
would like to thank everyone for the trust they have placed in me,' said
Detlev Wösten.
Chairman of the H&R AG Supervisory Board, Bernd Günther, commented:
'Appointing Detlev Wösten to the Executive Board gives us an executive who
has had close ties to the company for several years and has substantial
expertise in the refinery business. Executives with above average levels of
performance and close ties to the company are especially important in times
of growth.'
The next scheduled dates:
12th August 2011 Publication of the 2nd quarterly report for 2011
