Jörg Stech will be responsible for the company’s injection molding division with a focus on Europe and responsibility for the global development of the technology.
KraussMaffei Group has named Jörg Stech as the new head of Injection Molding Machines EMEA, succeeding Karl-Heinz Bourdon, who led the division on an interim basis since the end of July.

He had succeeded Sven Schewe, who left KraussMaffei after five years at that time.
