Expansion of ASYS Gruppe Management

Jürgen Ries, Managing Director of ASYS Group China, will gradually assume responsibility for the operational business of the ASYS Gruppe starting in 2020. He will take over tasks from Werner Kreibl, who will focus on strategic business development.

"With Jürgen Ries, we are appointing an outstanding strategist and businessman to our management team who has already impressively demonstrated his management qualities at our location in China. With this appointment, we are paving the way for a seamless transition of management in the coming years," explains Werner Kreibl, founder and managing director of the ASYS Gruppe.

After 12 years with Siemens, Jürgen Ries started his career at ASYS in 2009 as Key Account Manager. Since 2011, he has been managing director of the company's location in China. Since taking office, the location has grown 12-fold thanks to its broad industrial base. For example, Ries accelerated business in the electronics and semiconductor sectors and built up a strong position for the ASYS Gruppe in the Chinese market. "I am looking forward to extending my experience from my time in Asia to the Corporate Group. I value innovation, reliability and partnership - principles that are firmly anchored in my actions. The step into the management of the entire ASYS Gruppe holds exciting, new and challenging topics in store for me, which I am happy to face," says Jürgen Ries.
