Siempelkam appoints new MD

In his previous career, Dr.-Ing. Joachim Martin held various management positions at ThyssenKrupp AG, SMS Group as well as Salzgitter Mannesmannr?hren-Werke. After many years of managing the metal-forming company SMS-Eumuco GmbH, he became a technical managing director at Salzgitter Mannesmann Stainless Tubes GmbH where he was co-responsible for the worldwide business with seamless stainless steel tubes.

Martin has extensive experience in international machine and plant engineering. Through his activities in the steel-processing industry, he was able to extend his knowledge base on the side of the equipment end-user. Thus, he is familiar with the viewpoints and needs of the customers. 

“I am looking forward to bringing my knowledge and experience into the company as one of the managing directors of Siempelkamp Maschinen- und Anlagenbau. I am expecting challenging tasks with large responsibility,” says Martin regarding his entry into the Siempelkamp management. 

“We welcome Dr.-Ing. Joachim Martin as a new member of the management team and look forward to enriching Siempelkamp‘s future with the new momentum that he will bring to the company,” says Dr.-Ing. Hans W. Fechner, Management of Siempelkamp Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG.

In 2012 the company management has been purposely expanded: In January, Mr. Stefan Wissing became the third managing director next to Dr.-Ing. Hans W. Fechner and Mr. Heinz Classen. Up to that point Mr. Wissing was responsible for managing the Siempelkamp service business and has been the acting managing director of the Siempelkamp subsidiary SLS in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. As part of the management team of the machine and plant engineering business unit he will from now on be responsible for the areas of service, installation, and shipping. He will also remain the managing director of SLS.
