Changes in the board of directors at Uzin Utz
Christian Richter (41) is appointed as a new member of the board of Uzin Utz on October 1st. From January 2023 he will take over the departments of finance and controlling, compliance, risk management and investor relations and will thus succeed Heinz Leibundgut, who will retire at the end of December after 23 years with the Ulm company.
With his many years of international experience in the finance area at Carl Zeiss Meditec, Richter has the prerequisites for a global company like Uzin Utz, according to the press release. Richter, who was born in Jena, has held various management positions in finance during his career. Most recently, as Head of Group Controlling, Vice President at Carl Zeiss Meditec (>1.6 billion euros in sales), he was responsible for global Group Controlling.
“We are pleased that in Christian Richter we have been able to gain a proven financial expert with extensive international experience and that we can shape the future of Uzin Utz with him,” says Dr. H. Werner Utz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Uzin Utz. As of October 1, 2022, the Uzin Utz Management Board will consist of Heinz Leibundgut (until his departure in December 2022), Julian Utz, Philipp Utz and Christian Richter.
