Since taking over as President & CEO in 2007, the revenue of the Jenoptik Group has increased by more than 35 percent to 670 million euros at the end of 2015. Earnings after tax were sustainably in the positive range and at the end of 2015 came to nearly 50 million euros. For fiscal year 2016 too, the Jenoptik Group aims at achieving record figures for revenue and earnings, thus slightly surpassing the very good figures of the prior year once again.
The Supervisory Board will now focus on the succession to Dr. Mertin. “For that purpose we will start a structured process,” says Matthias Wierlacher, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board thanks Dr. Mertin for his willingness to accompany this process.
