Daniel Seiler, the long-standing managing director of IDS Imaging Development, is leaving the camera manufacturer on February 29, 2020, after 14 years at IDS to pursue a new professional challenge. On March 1, Jan Hartmann will move up to the management board. He is the son of the founder and managing director Jürgen Hartmann, who will take over the operative tasks of Seiler. Jan Hartmann is already managing director of the IDS sister company "IDS Innovation" and will in future be responsible for the areas of personnel, finance and IT at IDS.

Alexander Lewinsky, who has been Head of Operations in charge of the company's manufacturing departments since 2018, has been granted power of attorney and thus moves up to the extended management board.

In the past 2019 financial year, the camera manufacturer Imaging Development Systems (IDS) achieved a sales increase in the high single-digit percentage range. Sales growth was particularly strong in the North American business.
