Restructuring programme

Klaus Kiener has held the position of CFO at MOBOTIX AG since April 2016. His reappointment means that he will continue to be responsible for finance, controlling, organisation, IT services, purchasing, logistics and production until 31 March 2021.

He was a major contributor in developing and implementing the Fit for the Future restructuring programme, together with Thomas Lausten, who was appointed as member of the Management Board in June 2017.

The restructuring programme includes all investments made to strengthen the IT infrastructure (implementing an ERP/CRM system), measures to strengthen product development, marketing activities and an increased focus of the sales structure on growth markets, as well as a streamlined, more efficient structure for work processes and the overall operational organisation. It is being implemented as planned and the turnaround is expected to take place in the current financial year already.

The MOBOTIX AG Management Board now has three members: Thomas Lausten, Klaus Kiener and Hartmut Sprave.
